New Cedar Floor Plan Homes Now Open
Hearthstone Welcomes Two New Employees
Hearthstone owners can now enjoy a little more
living space with homes 15 and 16, called
Jarbidge and Bruneau. Built on the new cedar
floor plan style, they vary slightly from the existing aspen and birch floor plans by having an
extra room with two additional beds. Homes 17
and 18, which are also being built in the cedar
floor plan style, are well underway with the
framing already finished. Hearthstone’s plan is to
complete a total of 26 homes over the course of
the next few years.
Nicki Dyson is Hearthstone’s new General
Manager. She has lived in McCall for six years

JUG MOUNTAIN RANCH
PONDEROSA STATE PARK:
WORLD-CLASS CROSS COUNTRY SKIING
Ponderosa State Park sits on a 1,000
acre peninsula that juts into Payette
Lake. When snow-covered, it
becomes a destination for Nordic
skiers, with 11 miles of groomed trails
and outstanding views of the lake, the
town, and surrounding forests.
Just two miles northeast of downtown
McCall, the park offers snowshoe and
cross country routes for all skill levels
that wind through tall ponderosa
pines and often give way to mountain
and lake views. Though many of the
trails offer opportunities for easy,
enjoyable trips, several advanced trails
also host National and International
ski events. You can test your skills on
these challenging trails, as the park
is now one of only four trail systems
in the country certified by the
USSA and FIS to host professional
Nordic ski races.
Though the park attracts between
forty and fifty thousand skiers each
year, it retains a sense of quiet
solitude that also draws in wildlife.
Winter is a good time for spotting
deer and birds of prey.
How to Get There: From downtown
McCall, go right at the “Y” intersection
and continue two miles to the park
entrance. Call (208) 634-2164 for

Snowmobiling!
See McCall’s Spectacular Snowy Backcountry, Fast
Idaho’s winter backcountry has millions of acres of stunning snow-capped
mountain ranges, valleys and icy lakes, just beyond the beaten path.
Fortunately, with over 500 miles of groomed snowmobile trails in the
McCall area alone, you can view the whiter side of Idaho’s wilderness
while having a little fun.
Valley County was noted as one of the top ten places to snowmobile in
the Northwest by SnoWest Magazine in both 2003 and 2004. Trails take
off from McCall, Cascade and Donnelly and take you through some of the
most untouched terrain in southwest Idaho.

A local favorite is the Warren Wagon Road Snowmobile Trail. The small

snowmobile trails. Valley County is quickly becoming a
Northwest favorite and was recently named one of the
area’s best by SnoWest Magazine.
The road to Warren closes every winter due to snow and makes a great
50-mile ride. To make the trip into an overnight stay, stop at Burgdorf
Hotsprings. This is both a hot springs and a ghost town, with remnants of
cabins and an old hotel standing in a meadow on private land surrounded
by the Payette National Forest. The hot springs reaches 113˚ F and has rental
cabins nearby. Gas, food and lodging are available at Secesh and Warren.
To access the trailhead, take the Warren Wagon Road north to the north
beach area of Payette Lake, about 8 miles from McCall.
Also try the Winter Wonderland Trail. This popular three hour ride connects
McCall to the Mountain Meadows of Smith’s Ferry. For a longer trip, the
Railroad Pass Trail covers a wide area of scenic southwest Idaho. From
Warm Lake near Cascade, the trail links Yellow Pine and Deadwood.
Byways give access to remote backcountry such as Goose Lake,
Brundage Reservoir, Granite Lake and more.
Several sporting good stores in McCall offer rentals. Trail
maps can be purchased from most snowmobile outfitters
or local law enforcement agencies.

Thomas McCall built his hotel near
Payette Lake in the late 1800s and
began planning the foundations of the
new town. But he had competition just a
mile down the shore. Lardo, positioned
conveniently on the established route
from Weiser, Council, and New Meadows
to the gold fields of Warren, was then a
thriving town. Lardo had a mill, Long
Valley’s first newspaper, a well-established
store, livery station, and a highly unusual
name. Supposedly, the name came
from a wagon spill that covered the road
to town with lard and flour, making
lard dough.
When McCall put a small post office in
his motel, it was an area scandal. Since
he also served liquor in his establishment,
the post office was moved to Lardo.
Another McCall local opened a post
office next door to McCall’s hotel, and
for many years the two post offices
existed only a mile apart. This neighborly
rivalry lasted for many years. Until
1910, however, Lardo still described
both areas.
The Oregon Short Line railroad came to
McCall in 1914 and ended a mile past
the town on the eastern shore of the
lake. At the time, officials called the
depot and ticket office “Lakeport,” and
for two years attempted to make the
new name stick. Local citizens were
never swayed, however. The west end
remained Lardo and the east end
McCall, with the Payette River as the
dividing line.
Finally, in 1917, the Village of McCall
was incorporated and Lardo faded into
an extension of the town. The railroad
conceded defeat shortly after, and
changed the name on their signs and
tickets to McCall.

Owner Profile
A Mountain Getaway: The Trimble Family
Comes Home to Hearthstone
Dave Trimble of Boise, Idaho, has been coming to
the McCall area since he was a child. After he
married, he and his wife Julie made the trip a routine
for hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter.
“We’d come up at least three or four times a year,”
says Dave. “We always wanted to own a vacation
home here.”
They made five trips to McCall just to look for land.
Each time, their search came up dry. They knew it
would take time and money to build, furnish and
maintain a second home, but the area had strong
appeal for the couple. They wanted a place they
could come to with their children and eventually
pass on to them. On their last attempt, the Trimbles met Hearthstone sales
manager Brian Oakland, who gave them a tour of Hearthstone.
“I remember being blown away by the interior,” says Dave. “I was amazed
at how beautifully it was constructed.”
Still, the Trimbles didn’t buy a property at Hearthstone right away. It took
something much weightier to solidify their decision. Dave, who is a pilot for
Alaskan Airlines and a 19-year member of the Idaho National Guard, was
called to serve in Iraq.
“When I came back after four months of flying over Baghdad,” Dave says.
“It kind of changed my perspective. The first thing we did when I came
back was look at Hearthstone.”
Now, the Trimbles enjoy their Hearthstone property with their two children,
Sydney (12) and Dylan (8), and their two dogs, Shiloh and Moxie, as much
as they can.
“It’s awesome. Each time I tell my kids we’re going up for the weekend,
they get so excited and immediately pack their bags,” Dave comments. “A
lot of times we go up and do nothing. Watch movies, go sit by the fire, just
enjoy the beauty of McCall.”

SEE ELK UP CLOSE!
Hap & Florence Points
Memorial Sleigh Rides
]
Hap Points began feeding the elk on his ranch
over 20 years ago. The tradition still continues
every winter season. In a rare glimpse of
nature, wild elk come up to horse-drawn sleighs
in Valley County’s snow-covered backcountry
and feed from the bales of hay passengers sit on.
It began in the mid-1980s, when two severe
winters in a row hit the Northwest. By the end
of November, snow depths in Donnelly were
over four feet and rising. Finding food became
increasingly difficult for resident elk and
deer populations.
“My dad started feeding them to keep them
alive,” says Hap’s son, Lyle Points. “A few years
later, he began taking people to see them.
Eventually it took over his life in the winter, so
many people wanted to go.”
When his father and mother died, Lyle named
the sleigh rides in their honor and opened
them to the general public. They are now
offered throughout the winter. The hour-long
sleigh ride travels alongside the tree-lined
Gold Fork Creek.
“It’s generally very beautiful,” says Lyle. “On
the way you can often see deer, and sometimes
bald eagles and hawks.”
The sleigh rides depend on snow, but they
typically begin in mid-December and last
through the end of March. They run every day
by reservation only. For more information
