    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; [email protected] or Denise Fredette 207-939- 3670; [email protected]. For general questions about AMC Adventure Travel, please email [email protected]. 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’.

  • Camp Perkins Historic Resource Documentation
    Camp Perkins Historic Resource Documentation SW-604 (04140400604) June 2020 By: Kerry Davis, Architectural Historian Preservation Solutions LLC — Boise, ID Camp Perkins Historic Resource Documentation Abstract This report documents the results of a cultural resources survey conducted to identify and evaluate above-ground cultural resources at Camp Perkins organizational camp in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, approximately 23 miles south of Stanley, Idaho, just west of State Highway 75. Results of Cultural Resource Study The full Camp Perkins permit area had been previously documented three times, in 1981, 1996, and 2008 (Figure 4). Each previous documentation was undertaken at the reconnaissance level within a single Idaho Historic Sites Inventory (IHSI) form (13-016403) and with only abbreviated history and discussion of each of the buildings. The camp was determined NRHP-eligible in 1996 and again in 2008. The current effort documented the full Camp Perkins permit area at the intensive level, with each resource (23 buildings, 1 structure) recorded on its own IHSI form (Table 1; Figure 5). Seventeen (17) resources were found to be potentially eligible for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listing as a group of contributing resources to a NRHP-eligible historic area that is a subset of the larger Camp Perkins permit area (Table 2; Figure 6). CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS I certify that this investigation was conducted and documented according to Secretary of Interior's Standards and guidelines and that the report is complete
