A backpacking trip to the Sawtooth Wilderness of Idaho had been on my destination 'bucket list' since I started backpacking in 2010. The opportunity to do an Idaho hike came up in May 2024 when Travis suggested it as an alternative to the Wind River Range hike we had originally been contemplating. Keeping with our tradition, we combined the hike with two wonderful 'tourist-mode' days before the backpacking. Our first night was in the 'Bunkhouse' at the Majestic Mountain Ranch in Idaho City. I had images of a cramped, shared space sleeping in a too-short bunk bed with throngs of other hikers. No, not at all! The Bunkhouse was a huge, luxurious space that we had to ourselves. The second night was spent at the Redfish Riverside Inn in the small, vibrant town of Stanley, Idaho. Complementing our Stanley experience was magical time spent at the Redfish Lake Lodge a few miles south of Stanley. Our plan for the hike was to do the super-popular 25-mile Alice Lake-Toxaway Lake Loop starting out of the Tin Cup Trailhead. Campsite availability (actually, lack of availability) was a major concern. But we caught a break and ended up at what was likely the best campsite on the entire loop. The mountain views in all directions were epic. With air temperatures above 100 degrees, and with worries about being able to find a decent campsite at Toxaway Lake, we changed our plans and decided to simply stay put in our 5-star site at Alice. For those who have watched my other videos this one is done in the same style - 45-minutes in length, intended to bring the audience along for the 'ride', and with a still picture slide show with music at the end. If you just have a few minutes skip to the end and enjoy the pictures.
