Plan Your Trip:
The drive into Stanley is almost the best part about Sawtooth Valley Gathering. Once you see the Sawtooth mountains, you realize why you made the trip. The air is crisper, the cell service is low, and the mountains look like the backdrop for a movie.
By the time you set up camp and the first bands start playing, the valley starts to cool down and the sky turns that sweet shade of orange that you only really see in Idaho at sunset. It’s a very special place to be with a view that you have to see for yourself.
From the Stanley Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce:
“Expect a lot of twists and turns, a few mountain passes, beautiful rivers, timbered corridors, and alpine vistas on perfectly maintained highways as you head into the majesty of the Sawtooth Mountains and the Stanley Basin.
Stanley sits 3 hours northeast of Boise at the junction of Highway 21 and Highway 75; one hour north of Sun Valley and 2.5 hours north of Twin Falls on Highway 75; one hour south of Challis on Highway 75.”
