Sawtooth Mountains Stanley, Idaho

Yea! We went camping this weekend in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area-- Stanley, Idaho. It was great! Got to see some old friends (getting older all the time) and made some new friends.

Life is Wild!

Here is our camp:

Have I mentioned lately that we love our T@B?

The Sawtooths are very pretty. Here are some now!

The view from camp

Not sure why they are called "Sawtooths." Seems like they would be called "Sawteeth." Who knows?

Anyway, we went to Redfish Lake and were greeted by this beautiful sign:


Redfish Lake was busy. But Dog Beach was wide open and the scenery can't be beat.


Why would anyone not want to hang out at Dog Beach?

Plenty of sticks to collect

We went to the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery to see some old pals (getting older all the time) and had a nice, but too short visit. They had a new addition.

This is Badger, he was a lot of fun!

Our last night in camp there was thunder and lightning and rain all night long. Lucky we put stuff away before bed! Packing up in the morning was easy and we had a safe trip home, but it is a long and winding road. Sorry to say it, but I got sick in the car. Doggone it!


It was another terrific camping trip that was too short. We're going back before winter!

*Sunny Gulch Campground (USFS) is a four paw camp! No hookups (we don't care), very clean and a very convenient location for visiting friends or the trails and sites of Stanley. Good river access for fishing and running around if you want to hang out at camp. Open space between campsites is good and the campground was only about 1/3 occupied.


Growl! SNRA or Sawtooth NF could do a better job of posting information about which campgrounds are opened and closed and when they do.
