The Sawtooth National Forest in the Sun Valley area has over a thousand miles of hiking trails, sheer granite peaks, and some backcountry cabins where you can rest from the day.
Try out your expertise in the backcountry on untamed mountaintops, or take a leisurely hike along meandering mountain streams. You can chose to go solo, or arrange for a guided trip. Guided trips are available for any ability and any length of trip.
Climbing is not just a summer sport. Travel to Sun Valley in the winter and not only enjoy fantastic skiing, but take a turn at some of the ice climbing in the area. Cross-country skiing is also a form of hiking and/or mountaineering in the winter months.
There are a multitude of trails to pick from. Local information can be obtained at the Sawtooth National Recreation Headquarters or any of the local businesses dealing in mountaineering gear.
