Idaho is brand new territory for us. After spending a night at a Harvest Host in the border of Wyoming and Utah we headed north. We passed through the touristy areas of Sun Valley and Ketchum, ID up Highway 95. Most places here, including the official forest campgrounds, are boondock sites, and there are tons of areas that are dispersed camping. We stayed near Prairie Creek, and stayed a couple of days longer than expected when it snowed on June 30!
FIrst time I've seen snow on June 30th!
This is an absolutely beautiful area, but still quite touristy and crowded. It is July 4th weekend, though, so we're hoping that the crowds thin out after Sunday, and also as we head on north. We've spent two days hiking at Lake Stanley, and after the weekend will see if we can stay closer and kayak on the crystal clear lake. Otherwise we will continue on northward.
