The last couple of days have been in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (and Wilderness) and it's a delightful area. North of the glitz of Sun Valley and a completely different place. The very headwaters of the Salmon River, just a little trickle up at the top of the valley, and quite an impressive river as you approach Stanley, just 30-40 miles later.

I had a wonderful mountain bike episode at Fisher Creek/Williams Creek - A big climb up a dirt road followed by miles and miles of beautiful singletrack winding around mountains and down canyons. And it was without the trailer, which was quite an experience.

Yesterday I went for a hike to Sawtooth Lake and Alpine Lake, just inside the Sawtooth Wilderness area. They're beautiful alpine lakes set up in the incredibly rugged Sawtooths. But the views on the way up there! I'll look forward to posting them for you when I get to a computer where I can do that.
