A final fish tale as we say goodbye to summer...

Right now in McCall, winter is in full swing. With constant snow over the last 24 hours and more predicted in the forecast, we wanted to share a last glimpse at that elusive season we call summer. Ed Anderson was kind enough to share these amazing photos from a summer float trip down the river at Blackhawk. We hope you enjoy these parting summer shots (and dream of beautiful fish)!

Herd of Elk in the Blackhawk Meadow

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

This past week, I got a frantic call from Jil Wickander, our Director of Outdoor Pursuits, saying that there was a HUGE herd of elk in the Blackhawk Meadow. At this time of year, the elk herds typically pass through Blackhawk fairly quickly, so we were scrambling to get our cameras and snap some shots before they headed up the mountain. Luckily, this herd was in no hurry! At last count, we spotted about 65 elk in this herd with a very impressive 5-by bull at the helm! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

2010 Blackhawk Octoberfest

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect fall day! To go with the sunshine, sauerkraut, and brats homeowners of Blackhawk on the River sampled beer from McCall’s two breweries, Salmon River Brewery and the McCall Brewing Company.

From the Salmon River Brewery, we sampled the P.F.D. Pale Ale, the McToberbest, and the Salmon River Quiver.

From the McCall Brewing Company, we sampled the  Ponderosa Pale Ale, the Oktoberfest, and the Hefeweizen.

Nothing like enjoying an adult beverage in the sun! Happy Oktoberfest!

Homeowner Bill West: Blackhawk "Felt Right" From the Beginning

Bill West, homeowner and full-time resident of Blackhawk on the River shares why he says Blackhawk was the right real estate descision.

After looking at properties in Arizona, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming, Mr. West visited McCall, Idaho and knew he had found what he had been searching for. According to Mr. West, “McCall is a friendly resort town that is not overcrowded or too ‘touristy.’ It has great local health care resources and is within reasonable proximity to a major airport and ‘big city.’”

But the most important appeal…the easy access to outdoor recreation with the benefit of having two major ski resorts nearby. As an avid fly fisherman, hiker and skier, Mr. West says McCall and Blackhawk on the River had everything he was looking for.

“The concept of Blackhawk is what appealed to me most.” The focus on outdoor recreation and the commitment to open space including the lakes, the river and the common areas between just “felt right” from the beginning.

Blackhawk is a conservation-oriented community situated along five miles of pristine waterfront property in McCall, Idaho.  Please contact Mckenzie for information and a tour.  Email her at mckenzie@blackhawkontheriver.com
