Sawtooth National Forest

Redfish in the Fall.
Redfish in the Fall.
#Adventures Photo Contest Stanley Idaho 💗
This is my most favorite place in Idaho (I almost don't want to share it, but please leave no trace and take care of our forest.)    A 2 mile mostly flat trail takes you to the edge of the Sawtooth Wilderness area.  You can hike or bike in (no bikes into the wilderness area.) A few downed trees may be on trail so beaware when riding bike.  Directions- just before Redfish lake lodge, parking on left, trail on right.
Amazing view!

Bring warm clothes and layers for any outdoor activities, especially in fall/winter but even in summer. High altitude means quickly changing weather and often big temperature differences morning to afternoon.

Great hiking. Be prepared for rutted dirt roads to get to many of the trailheads.

We went to the Copper Basin and up to Stanley.  Go there. Both are different from each other.
