Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains

Okay, the folks who live in Southern Idaho are going to be displeased that I’ve shared this, but it really is one of the most awesome places I’ve ever been.

The Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho are beautiful.  Whenever I see pictures from Patagonia, or Alaska, or the Alps I think, “that looks like Idaho!”  All because of these mountains.  I grew up in these mountains, so I’m partial to them, but I know they’re awesome, because anytime I take someone to the top of Galena Summit to see them, all they can say is, “wow.”

The mountains are home to beautiful glacial lakes that reward determined hikers with frigid waters.   They’re a playground for those who love to backpack, backcountry ski, cross-country ski, fly fish and tons more.  They are stunningly, awesomely beautiful.
