Sawtooth Wilderness Lake Pack Trip

This 5 day Sawtooth Wilderness Packtrip shows our guests the best of the Sawtooth Wilderness. Your first day's ride takes you through glaciated canyons, past gem-blue lakes and over a mountain pass. There are a variety of lakes to camp near. Here at our base camp, you will enjoy healthy, western cooked meals and views of lakes and mountains, combined in a peaceful setting. The next three days can be spent relaxing, riding to other lakes, reading, climbing mountain peaks, fishing, photographing wildflowers and mountain peaks, or taking a cool dip in the lake. Our last day returns you to the trailhead via spectacular views and the last few moments of quiet solitude. For avid fishermen, fishing is also available on the many high mountain lakes within the Sawtooth Wilderness. Fishing is done off the banks or out of float tubes. Enjoy a lazy day fishing while floating in the middle of crystal clear water surrounded by spectacular mountain peaks while setting the hook in Cutthroat or Brook Trout.

The Overnighter

This overnight packtrip takes you on a tour of some of the most spectacular lakes within the Sawtooth Wilderness. Meet your guides at a pre-determined trailhead to begin your trip into your overnight camp near a high mountain lake. With over 180 lakes to choose from, we will customize your trip for your group!

The scenery is great! Be sure not to forget your camera! Upon arriving at the high mountain lake, there is time to fish, explore, swim or just relax before enjoying a healthy western dinner.

The next morning you have time to enjoy fishing, or take a short hike through meadows where wildflowers abound. The leisurely ride back down the canyon is filled with breathtaking views of the lakes, valleys and the mountains that surround you.

Fly- Fishing
Middle Fork of the Salmon River

Enjoy fishing and exploring the world famous Middle Fork of the Salmon River in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Our trip begins in Stanley, Idaho, where we meet our guests and drive to the trailhead. From there, the guests will hop aboard gentle mountain horses for a spectacular ride along the river to our camp on the Middle Fork of the Salmon.

Fish this outstanding river for Cutthroat and Rainbow trout. Fishing in this area is catch and release to assure the continuance of this high quality fishing experience. Our camp is within easy walking distance from the river, so it is a short walk to catch the early morning or evening hatch. Our guides will be happy to assist you in this exciting fly-fishing experience.
