Sawtooth Mountains

Hope you don’t mind heights, because

you’re about to enter Idaho’s most

mountainous region—a jaw-droppingly

gorgeous landscape of peaks and passes

just waiting to be explored. The jagged

Sawtooth Mountains stand guard over

the Stanley Basin, an area where end-

less hiking, biking, and snowmobile

trails wind past cold, clear streams and

glacier-carved lakes. Mount Borah, the

state’s highest peak at 12,662 feet, looks

out over the sweeping plains near Mackay,

beckoning hikers and climbers to ascend

its slopes. From the small western town

of Stanley, travel Highway 75 over Galena

Pass to the romantic Sun Valley–Ketchum

resort area for world-class skiing and

hiking, mountain biking, and art-gallery

browsing. Ernest Hemingway settled here

in his later years and was particularly fond

of the Silver Creek area, now a preserve

known for fantastic fly-fishing and its rich

habitat for birds, elk, and even moun-

tain lions. The Salmon River, ranked by

National Geographic as one of the world’s

top whitewater adventures, begins in this

region. This region is not new to adven-

ture—this was the home of Sacajawea,

the brave Lemhi-Shoshone woman who

served as interpreter for the Lewis and

Clark expedition as they made their way

west to the Pacific Ocean.

Gourmet Dining

STANLEY BASINCareful now—people have been known to pick up and move to Idaho after a visit to Stanley. Its romantic, rugged Western beauty is one for the picture books—maybe because it always seems to be perfectly cast in a light that makes its meadows greener, its peaks craggier, and its crooked fences more rustic. Stanley Basin is surrounded by the Boulder-White Cloud and Sawtooth Mountains, where the mighty Salmon River (the “River of No Return”) begins as runoff from Sawtooth snows. Backpackers, hikers, mountain bikers, and boaters will find endless adventure within the 756,000-acre Sawtooth National Recreation Area, including 700-plus miles of trails, hundreds of alpine lakes, and 40 peaks over 10,000 feet. Same goes for the Sawtooth Wilderness, just west. Stop by the visitor center north of Ketchum on Highway 75 or the Redfish Visitor Center at Redfish Lake for maps and trail recommendations. The kids will love Redfish Lake’s sandy beach and easy trails, and you’ll love the view.

The premier central Idaho adventure is a guided rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River through the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness, the largest wilderness area in the Lower 48. This trip is five to seven wondrous days in the Idaho outdoors, with crystal-clear waters, natural hot springs, catch-and-release fishing, and Dutch-oven riverside dining. Not only is the Middle Fork a national Wild and Scenic River, National Geographic ranks it as the third-best whitewater river trip in the world because of its challenging Class III and IV rapids, unspoiled landscape, and abundance of wildlife.

The small town of Stanley sits in the heart of this area—and actually right at the junction of three very picturesque routes: Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway on Highway 21, Salmon River Scenic Byway on Highways 93 and 75, and the Sawtooth Scenic Byway on Highway 75. You’ll find plentiful cabins and motels in and around Stanley for your year-round excursions. Enjoy a rustic-luxe guest ranch vacation at the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch, where you can set out on any number of outdoor

adventures and then return for a swim in a hot springs pool or stargazing from a rocking chair on the front porch.

SUN VALLEY & KETCHUMSun Valley is the West’s storied ski resort, with a long history of movie stars and other royalty escaping to its secluded slopes. Today, people come from all over to experience the old-world charm of this cozy alpine village on the edge of the wilderness. You’ll find deluxe accommodations throughout the resort, from condos and cottages to the historic Sun Valley Lodge. This is definitely the year to visit; in June 2015, the Lodge will have completed expansive renovations, unveiling beautifully refurbished guest rooms and a new 20,000-square-foot full-service spa and salon with saunas, a yoga studio, and stunning views of Mount Baldy. Sun Valley is bustling year-round—so come hit the greens at its beautiful golf courses, take a guided trail ride at Sun Valley Stables, and watch world-class figure skaters practice and perform at the Lodge’s ice rink; the popular Sun Valley on Ice show runs Saturday nights all summer long. Also, almost every evening in summer, catch national headliners, local bands, or the Sun Valley Summer Symphony at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Take a scenic ride on the Roundhouse Express Gondola up to the top of Mount Baldy, where you can hike, bike, or enjoy a meal and an awesome view at the Roundhouse restaurant.

Less than a mile away is the mountain town of Ketchum, where Ernest Hemingway spent his last years, from the late 1950s until his death in 1961. Take time to browse Ketchum’s many shops and galleries, grab a drink at the famous Whiskey Jacques’, and choose from an eclectic array of eateries for a taste of regional cuisine.

Head to The Kneadery for its signature breakfasts and locally baked breads in a cozy, rustic setting; or sample coffee, wine, and nibbles at the sleek new Velocio; or savor Idaho trout, wood-fired pizza, and homemade desserts at Enoteca. Perry’s serves up casual, family-friendly fare; for steak and local game, try Pioneer Saloon on Main Street or the Cornerstone Bar & Grill.

The Sun Valley-Ketchum area is part of the larger Wood River Valley, where you can spend many happy days discovering trails and quiet fishing spots amid quaking aspen groves, dense mountain forests, and wildflower meadows. Book a day or sunset trip along the Big Wood River and Silver Creek with the top-notch fly fishermen and women at Silver Creek Outfitters; they’re passionate about teaching the sport to beginners, too. Take it all in from above and add elevation to your vacation on a paragliding adventure with Fly Sun Valley.

In March, independent cinema comes to screens around town during the Sun Valley Film Festival. Readers and writers gather in July for the Sun Valley Writer’s Conference and in September for the Ernest Hemingway Festival. You’ll find motivation and massages at the annual Sun Valley Wellness Festival over Memorial Day weekend. Discover and cook regional cuisine with nationally recognized chefs at the Sun Valley Harvest Festival each September. This valley gives a big nod to its Western roots with events like the Hailey Rodeo over the Fourth of July, the Wagon Days & Big Hitch Parade on Labor Day weekend, and the Trailing of the Sheep Festival each October.

If you’re not staying at the Sun Valley resort, Ketchum and the nearby town of Hailey offer an assortment of hotels and bed-and-breakfast inns. Try the beautiful Knob Hill Inn for upscale comfort and breakfast by the fire.

FAIRFIELDThere’s more than meets the eye near the tiny rural town of Fairfield. Tons of year-round recreation awaits in the nearby Sawtooth and Boise National Forests, and the surrounding prairie turns blue and purple with camas lilies during the “Big Bloom” in May. For amazing photo ops, head to the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh Wildlife Management Area, where thousands of migrating birds take respite among the purple meadows and marshlands. Bring the kids to swim and water ski at Mormon and Magic Reservoirs, and fish for huge rainbow and brown trout. Enjoy a peaceful day of prime fly-fishing at Silver Creek or the Little Wood River. In winter, snowmobiling rules, and Soldier Mountain Ski Area promises relaxed, uncrowded days on the slopes.

CRATERS OF THE MOON & ARCOIn the high desert near Arco, you’ll find one of the most unusual landscapes on earth: Craters of the Moon National Monument. The 750,000-acre mon-ument encompasses an enormous basaltic lava field with endless volcanic features such as spatter and cinder cones, lava tubes, and caves. Indige-nous people and pioneers both have fascinating histories here, which you can read about at the visitor center. Although the landscape looks barren, its home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. A seven-mile loop road leads you through the lava field, and you can walk short trails to caves and craters. RV and camping spots are available in the monument, and nearby Arco has several motels.

MACKAYMackay is a rugged sight, its western downtown silhouetted by the crags of the towering Lost River Range. It’s the closest town to Mount Borah—at 12,662 feet, the state’s tallest peak—earning it its “Top of Idaho” nickname. Most seasoned hikers can climb Borah in a day, but the famed Chicken-out

Ridge causes many to turn back close to the top. The mountainous terrain surrounding Mackay is ideal for hiking, biking, and backcountry drives; a fun drive is the self-guided Mackay Mine Hill Tour, which gives you a glimpse into the area’s mining heritage. If you’re into off-road action, join fellow OHVers for scenic and technical riding at the pop-ular Rally in the Pines ATV event each July. Winter snows make for amazing cross-country skiing and snowmobiling throughout the entire Lost River region.

SALMON & THE LEMHI VALLEYNorth of Challis, Highway 93 enters the serene Lemhi Valley and the mountain town of Salmon, which confirms why Idaho is called the Whitewater Capital of the World. That’s because the Salmon River, or the “River of No Return,” flows right through town, leading to amazing adventures through some of the best rapids and most scenic landscape in the world. Experience this pristine terrain, wildlife, and fresh backcountry air by booking a trip with a licensed outfitter.

Other epic adventures are documented at the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural, Educational & Events Center, where you can learn about the Lemhi-Shoshone woman who served as an interpreter for the Lewis and Clark expedition. A little out of town, drive the Lewis and Clark Backcountry Byway loop up to Lemhi Pass, the spot where a small group of the Discovery Corps spied the endless mountain terrain that lay ahead of them to the west. The byway is a 36-mile single-lane gravel road with steep grades, but it’s worth the journey in a high-clearance vehicle.

‹ HI-DEF HAS NOTHING ON USRedfish Lake

Sawtooth Wilderness

› Families and couples love the classic sleigh rides around the snowy hills of Sun Valley—snuggle up for a crisp loop tour or make it an evening with a sleigh ride to dinner at the charming Trail Creek Cabin.

Trails

› The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Sawtooth Wilderness have tons of routes to alpine lakes, jagged spires, and lupine meadows. And just when you think you’ve found the most amazing spot, you’ll turn a bend to another. Fisher Creek is a mountain bike trail popular for its varied and picturesque terrain; ditto for the trails leading from the Galena Lodge area.

› Hikers and mountaineers eagerly climb Idaho’s highest peak, Mount Borah. At 12,666 feet, the hike to the top can be done in a day; mountaineers can choose more technical routes.

Golfing

› A marker on Sun Valley’s White Clouds Golf Course reads “This is not all about golf.” Which will make sense as you play any of the resort’s courses, which roll magnificently through the Wood River Valley, offering mountain views inspiring the name “American Alps.”

RECREATION Water Play

› The mighty Salmon River begins here as a small stream in the shadow of Galena Summit before turning into one of the world’s most revered bodies of water. Book an unforgettable white- water adventure launching from Salmon or Stanley—outfitters offer half-day floats or five days of wilderness rafting and superb riverside dining.

› The pristine Middle Fork of the Salmon—the ultimate wilderness river—flows through the 2.37- million-acre Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness near Stanley. Idaho River Journeys, Solitude River Trips, and White Otter Adventures are solid choices for whitewater or family- friendly scenic trips on the Salmon.

› Just south of Stanley, be sure to visit Redfish Lake, long a summer destina-tion for swimming, boating, canoeing, and paddle boarding. The Redfish Lake Lodge offers accommodations in its historic inn and in many cabins; camping is available, too.

Snow Sports

› When winter blows in, head to Sun Valley for great downhill skiing and a stay at the beautiful old-world lodge. If you’re into a more laid-back scene, try cat skiing at Soldier Mountain near Fairfield. North of Ketchum, the road rises slowly to Galena Summit and Galena Lodge, a scenic home base for Nordic skiing.

HISTORYLewis and Clark

› The Lewis and Clark expedition crossed the Continental Divide near Lemhi Pass on August 12, 1805, accompanied by their interpreter, Sacajawea, a young Lemhi-Shoshone woman who was born near present-day Salmon, Idaho. It was in central Idaho that the expedition, peering across the endless mountain ranges ahead, realized

they wouldn’t be finding a river passage to the Pacific. Begin your own “Voyage of Discovery” in this region by visiting the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural, Educational & Events Center; rafting the Salmon River; and driving to Lemhi Pass on the Lewis and Clark Backcountry Byway.
