Just north of Sawtooth National Forest in central Idaho, Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness offers an even quieter alternative to Idaho’s premier mountain range, and this is one of the best non-technical peaks to be found! Small Langer Lake doesn’t really compare to the other alpine lakes on this list in terms of glaciated backdrops and cry...
Departing from Stanley Lake at the northern end of the Sawtooths, Lady Face and Bridal Veil Falls (accessed via the same trail) provide one of the only short, relaxing hikes in the region— the perfect “rest day” activity in between high alpine routes and steep peaks! The trail first meanders through a flowered meadow below iconic McGown Peak, gaini...
At the northern end of the Sawtooth Wilderness lies one of the region’s most popular destinations, Sawtooth Lake, accessed via a moderate trail from Iron Creek. Despite this popularity, it’s not hard to find yourself completely alone at Sawtooth mid-week and early season, and it ended up being one of my favourite alpine lakes, both for photography ...
Once protected from the masses by a rough, steep trail and difficult route-finding, Goat Lake is now firmly in the mix, alongside Sawtooth and Alice, as one of the most popular alpine lakes in the Sawtooth Wilderness— not because the trail has been improved or the grade has lessened, but because word of its beauty has leakedand easy access to crowd...
You might see it referred to as Lake 8865 (its elevation) or even 9000ft Lake on area maps, but amazingly, the sapphire pool below Thompson Peak, the highest mountain in the entire range, doesn’t even have a name— and this does a lot to keep it off the radar for most hikers, as does the rugged and somewhat arduous ascent. The journey to Lake 8865 b...
For those seeking big adventure in the Sawtooths, there is hardly a more deserving summit than Thompson Peak, the tallest mountain in the entire range! But make no mistake— this is a CLIMB, and you need to be prepared accordingly. Thompson is a non-technical peak with a 4200ft ascent and challenging terrain, including a 40+ degree snowfield ascendi...
Bench Lakes are a string of 5 stunning alpine lakes in the heart of the Sawtooth Wilderness, each more spectacular than the last. There’s a well-formed and easy to follow trail as far as the second lake, but beyond this, there’s only a vague hint of the path to the 5th— and as a result, very few hikers make it this far. The route is incredibly stee...
Not to be confused with Alpine Lake situated beneath popular Sawtooth Lake (and described previously), this beautiful and secluded spot below Baron Divide makes for an excellent day hike or backpacking destination away from the masses. The best way to access Alpine Lake is by catching the Hiker Boat Shuttle from Redfish Lodge ($14 one-way or $19 re...
For those willing to push beyond Alpine Lake (described above), the reward is one of the most spectacular views in the entire Sawtooth Wilderness, looking down from Baron Divide onto Upper and Lower Baron Lakes. Being farther from the trailhead also comes with the bonus of fewer people— we didn’t even see another hiker all day! As with Alpine Lake,...
Another fantastic option beginning at the far end of Redfish Lake (from the Redfish Inlet Trailhead) is Cramer Lakes, a string of 3 sparkling lakes accessible via a very leisurely trail through the trees. There’s excellent camping at each, but we were most impressed by the gushing, almost tropicalwaterfall between the middle and upper lakes! As des...
Jun 30, 2024 · The road trip from Boise north to Stanley and then Salmon is one of the most scenic drives in the West, especially along the Salmon River from Stanley to Salmon. The loop from Boise to Stanley and then south through Ketchum/Sun Valley and Fairfield back to Boise is also very nice.
