Home to the Sawtooth, White Cloud, and Boulder Mountains, it offers endless opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The forest includes the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), known for its dramatic peaks and pristine backcountry. The Salmon River and its tributaries provide excellent rafting and fishing. With over 1,000 miles of trails, breathtaking scenery, and abundant wildlife, Sawtooth National Forest is a premier destination for outdoor adventure and nature lovers alike.
