Kirkwood Ranch

Although people have lived on Kirkwood Bar since prehistoric times, the most famous resident was Len Jordan (1932-43), who later became Governor of Idaho and a U.S. Senator. His wife, Grace, wrote Home Below Hells Canyon about her family's years at Kirkwood Ranch.

Public welcome: historic ranch, museum, interpretive site, staffed year-round. No drinking water available. May also be accessed by an off-road vehicle trail down Kirkwood Creek. Communications available to report fires/emergencies.
