  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STANLEY, IDAHO—The Sawtooth
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STANLEY, IDAHO—The Sawtooth Society’s Austin Kraal Memorial Volunteer program has ended its third season of volunteer work with miles of trails cleared, old fences clipped, thousands of weeds pulled and scores of campsites cleaned. All told, there were more than 1,200 hours of boots-on-the-ground work completed by the Austin Kraal Memorial youth and adult volunteers who all gave back to the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (NRA) in a big way this season. Courtesy photo A group of boys from Cherry Gulch in Emmett, Idaho work together to build a logworm fence along the shore of Alturas Lake. The fence will help keep foot traffic away from badly eroding banks. “I’ve backpacked quite a bit in the Sawtooths, and I saw this program as an opportunity to give back to a special place that I love,” said Will Gattiker, a youth volunteer who participated in the program. The volunteer program is more than a plan to help maintain and enhance the Sawtooth NRA, it gives people a chance to experience the Sawtooths in a different and more meaningful way. “I’ve had experiences in the outdoors since I was very young,” Gattiker said. “But this was different and special in that I was able to share it with a great variety of people—people I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to camp and work beside.” Courtesy photo Kids from The Boise Parks and Recreation and Foothills Learning Center Sawtooth Camp pull Spotted Knapweed on the steep banks of the Salmon River.

  • Wilderness Stewardship Program FAQ 2021
    Wilderness Stewardship Program Frequently Asked Questions The U.S. Forest Service and Idaho Conservation League launched the wilderness stewardship program in 2016. This program creates and supports a cooperative relationship among our community, ICL, the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service that focuses on quality wilderness stewardship to fulfill the intent of the Wilderness Act by protecting and preserving the wilderness character of the Sawtooth Wilderness, Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness, Cecil D. Andrus White Clouds Wilderness, recommended wilderness areas in the Salmon-Challis National Forest and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. If you love these wild places, enjoy being out in them and have an interest in becoming a volunteer steward, then this volunteer program is for you! The 2021 wilderness stewardship season will run from May through early November. *NOTICE: Due to the impact of COVID-19 in Idaho, the activities, timeline and training of the Wilderness Stewardship Program may be adapted to the circumstances. We are working closely with the U.S. Forest Service to follow their guidelines for field work on public lands in Idaho. For more information, contact Hannah Smay, hsmay@idahoconservation.org. Q. What is the goal of the wilderness stewardship program? A. The overarching goal of the wilderness stewardship program is to restore, protect, and enhance wilderness character within the newly designated Hemingway-Boulders, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak and Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds Wildernesses, as well as in the Sawtooth Wilderness, recommended wilderness areas in the Salmon-Challis National Forest, and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, through citizen and community engagement.

  • Dousing the Candles on Wilderness Birthday Cake
    Dousing the candles on wilderness birthday cake Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune The U.S. Forest Service could not have done a better job blowing out the candles on the National Wilderness Act's 50th birthday cake if it had tried. Rather than focusing on this uniquely American endeavor - no other nation on Earth has preserved portions of the natural world untouched by civilization - it has decided to reinforce every possible negative wilderness stereotype: Wilderness is elitist. It favors the trust fund baby who can afford to hire an outfitter to haul his fat butt across the Frank Church wilderness over working-class Idahoans who have to walk in. Wilderness areas are treated as a private preserve by an unelected federal bureaucracy or judiciary. There's something secretive about lands the public never sees or learns about. Fueling those impressions is a Forest Service directive that - until it blew up last week - was on its way toward transforming the agency into the arbiter of news coverage in those areas. Anything that was not breaking news, an interim rule four years in the making said, was commercial photography or filmmaking in nature and therefore subject to permits. And the Forest Service could decide whether to grant or deny those permits depending on whether the applicant intended to promote "the use and enjoyment of wilderness or its ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic or historic values." Ambiguous enough for you? Essentially, it would put the Potter Stewart - "I know it when I see it" - rule in effect. The district ranger's office in Challis would welcome Idaho Public Television crews to the backcountry.

  • Hiking the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho - 2 July 31 – August 11, 2021 (Trip# 2154)
    Hiking the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho - 2 July 31 – August 11, 2021 (trip# 2154) Alice Lake, Sawtooth Wilderness We are glad that you are interested in this exciting trip! Please read the information carefully, and contact us if you have specific questions about this trip: Leslie Carson 508-737-6627; lesliecarson929@yahoo.com or Denise Fredette 207-939- 3670; deniserae77@gmail.com. For general questions about AMC Adventure Travel, please email AMCexcursions@outdoors.org. SUMMARY The Sawtooth Range is a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains, located in Central Idaho. It is named for its jagged peaks. Much of the range is located within the Sawtooth Wilderness. Bordered to the east lies 30-mile long Sawtooth Valley and the town of Stanley, our home for the majority of this trip. To the east of the valley are the White Cloud Mountains. These peaks offer a unique perspective, looking across the valley at the jagged Sawtooth. On this 12-day adventure, we'll explore the alpine lakes, high divides and summits of the Sawtooth and White Cloud. After arriving in Boise, Idaho, we’ll meet the group at our welcome dinner and gather some supplies for the trip. After one night in Boise, we’ll leave it behind for a three hour scenic drive to the town of Stanley, our home for eight nights. We'll enjoy moderate to challenging hikes ranging from 7 to 17 miles per day. We’ll see wildflowers and wildlife, pristine lakes, jagged peaks and one panorama after another. We’ll experience the unique terrain and mountain air as we climb to several divides and summits between 9,000’ and 10,000’.

    The Stock User’s Guide Sawtooth National Recreation Area “It was a land of vast silent spaces, of lonely rivers, and of plains where the wild game stared at passing horsemen. We felt the beat of hardy life in our veins, and ours was the glory of work and the joy of living.” Theodore Roosevelt Contents 1 Welcome, Weeds and Frontcountry Camping 2 Avoiding Bruises (and Bears) 3 Where should I go? 4 A few Sawtooth facts 5-6 Leave No Trace at a Glance 7-10 Sawtooth Wilderness Backcountry Stock Tie Areas 11-12 Sawtooth Wilderness Regulations 13-14 Boulder-White Clouds Backcountry Stock Tie Areas and Regulations 15 Checklist: What to Take Back Contact Us Cover Welcome! The mountain meadows, alpine lakes and jagged peaks of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) await your visit. The task of keeping this area beautiful and undamaged belongs to all of us. As a stock user, you must take extra pre- cautions to safeguard the land. The introduction of noxious weeds, overgrazing, tree girdling and other impacts can be easily avoided with a bit of skill and preparation. This user’s guide can help you prepare for your trip. For example, did you know you must get a free wilderness permit from a Forest Service office if you are taking stock overnight into the Sawtooth Wilderness? Are you aware that the eastern side of the Wilderness is closed to grazing? So if you go, bring certified weed seed free feed (no loose hay or straw). For more useful tips, please read on, and have a great journey.
