Sawtooth Mountain Area
A hidden gem in central Idaho, see the spectacular mountain scenery and shimmering glacial lakes that offer a taste of the Alps in America.
Stunning vistas, pristine waters and nature’s solitude await in this lesser known of the three main glacial alpine locations in the United States. A subrange of the Rocky Mountains, Sawtooth Range offers an experience that’s off the beaten track and away from the crowds. With 40 peaks rising over 10,000 feet, more than 700 miles of trails and more than 300 lakes created by receding alpine glaciers, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area is a prime location for outdoor recreational pursuits.
Go camping, hiking, backpacking or horse riding among the lush green forests and wildflower-dotted lands. The many mountain lakes with their crystal clear turquoise waters invite you for a swim – you’ll find some are actually hot springs as well. The larger lakes, like Redfish are idyllic spots for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and sitting on the beach. Photography opportunities are everywhere, and just taking in the beautiful surroundings will provide a sense of peace.
