Sawtooth Mountain Guides specializes in extended off-trail trekking trips throughout the Sawtooths. Most excursions originate from Redfish Lake and start out along the Redfish Creek drainage, where towering granite spires flank both sides of the canyon, and the creek flows among giant glacial boulders. Don’t forget to consider fishing or rock climbing options. Trekking trips can range from short afternoon ecology hikes to multi-day backpacking expeditions into the heart of the range. Hiking across the range in several days, connecting alpine lakes and passes on a loop, or even a quick overnight to a stunning basin are all options.

We’ve found that the best fishing lies well off the beaten track, at higher elevation lakes not accessible by trail. We catch mostly Cutthroat trout on fly patterns typical of those used in the popular Wood River Drainage near Sun Valley. Trips are custom, so contact us for specific areas.
