Black Magic Canyon is a small canyon located north of Shoshone, Idaho along Idaho State Highway 75.
[1] It was created by the Big Wood River over the last 10,000 years.
[2] The river carved this canyon through 800,000-year-old basalt lava flows leaving sculpted black rock reminiscent of Utah's slot canyons.
[3] Because of irrigation use during the summer and snowfall in winter, the canyon is best explored in spring or fall.
