This place will always be sacred to me, as I've been coming here for seventeen years. Not a lot has changed (other than real estate prices going through the roof in nearby Pine and Featherville) and there's always great camping 🏕 and fishing with well-maintained roads and good restrooms.
We hiked a loop in the Sawtooth Wilderness for 5 days. The scenery was breathtaking, hiking through alpine lakes and passes. The trail was quite easy, not rough or rocky. I was surprised how easy it was to access the wilderness, compared to the high sierra for example.
The weather was also super great, but quite hot.
Nights were spent at:
1- sawtooth lake
2- Baron falls
3- Upper cramer lake
5- Elk lake
I went to the Slate Rock area and camped with some friends. Had a lovely time there and it was very relaxing. I love the sound of the water rising down the river. Or was very beautiful and peaceful.
