General presentation
Sawtooth Mountains et Stanley
Dentralized crates, alpine lakes and forested valleys in the heart of Idaho.
To understand what Sawtooth Mountains and Stanley are, look at Redfish Lake, Sawtooth Lake and Stanley Lake. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Redfish Lake
Redfish Lake reflects the grey teeth of Sawtooth Mountains in alpine water lined with beaches, pines and a seasonal lodge. Families find swimming and boats, while hikers use the lake shuttle to save time to the hinterland trails.
Nature and landscape
Sawtooth Lake
Sawtooth Lake rewards the walkers with a high mountain mineral decor, with cold water, moraines and peaks cut over the basin. Access is earned by a trail supported from the Stanley area; it is an exit for those who want to feel the baldness of the Sawtooth on foot.
Nature and landscape
Stanley Lake
Stanley Lake offers a direct view of Sawtooth's serrated walls, often reflected in calm water at dawn. Less lively than Redfish Lake, it is suitable for campers, paddlers and photographers looking for a single shore, pine trees and a lot of sky.
Place indismissible
