Salmon-Challis National Forest, ID

Travel Guide

USA, Idaho. Shooting star wildflowers blooming in Elk Meadows, Salmon-Challis National Forest.
Heading back down Borah Peak, The Top of Idaho! Fighting depression after my marriage ended, I took the day that would have been my 12th wedding anniversary and I made that day about doing something challenging and amazing! #adventure
Looking down at the Salmon River.
We got up early before the sun to be able to relax in these warm springs. The pools are deep enough to where you can lay down and submerge most of your body. And you can't beat the view! Hike was short but a steep and rocky one.
Miles from nowhere on one of the most beautiful roads in Idaho - somewhere halfway between Ketchum and McKay, ID on the beautiful Big Lost River. Borah Peak in the Lost Mountain Range looms big! #roadtrip

9.4/10 Exceptional! (685 reviews)
Loved our stay at The Sun Valley Lodge. Only downside I would say is they do not extend or offer late checkout for even 30 minutes. I would think at a place this nice where people are expecting at least that for what they’re paying for, they would be able to do it. That is the only bad thing I would ...
