Fishhook Creek Trail - Alpine Meadow Exploration in the Sawtooths | Idaho

In this episode we will continue onwards to the Fishhook Creek Trail 5 minutes away from Redfish Lake. This 4.5 mile out & back trail traverses through dense forest filled with vibrant aspen groves, and leads you to a tranquil meadow with views of the jagged Sawtooth peaks in the distance. The relaxing sounds of flowing water linger through the forest as you embark on the perfect introduction trail to the Sawtooth Wilderness. With only 300 ft of elevation gain the trail is flat and shaded in numerous sections. Horstmann Peak to the left and Thompson Peak on the right provide the perfect backdrop of this rugged alpine wilderness. Another popular trail in this region of the Sawtooths is Bench Lakes which continues 3.5 miles from Fishhook Creek to 4 alpine lakes. Unfortunately this portion of the mountain was burned in a recent wildfire this past summer weeks after our vacation. I hope you enjoy this wonderful hike.
