The summit of White Bird Hill is above the city, ascended via U.S. Highway 95. The steeper, straighter and faster multi-lane grade of U.S. 95 was opened in 1975, after ten challenging years of construction. The two-lane road of 1921 to the east was first paved in 1938; it left the Salmon River at White Bird Creek, followed it up through White Bird and then gradually climbed the grade in twice the distance, with multiple switchback curves to a higher summit, without a cut.
