Western Heritage Historic Byway
Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area Pullout and Byway Views, ID

Over 80 percent of the byway transects the SRBPNCA, offering opportunities to see many of the raptor species. Visitors may glimpse these birds soaring through the canyon; nesting in its cracks, crevices, and ledges; or looking for prey above the canyon.

The surrounding desert is covered with a mantle of deep silt loam that supports a variety of vegetation and furnishes a superb habitat for a concomitant rodent population that is essential to the welfare of the raptors.
