ONE OF IDAHO'S MOST ICONIC PEAKS, often compared to the Matterhorn, will transfix you in a picture-perfect view from this campsite. On a clear night, its rosy glow is the only thing you will see just before darkness. As the night darkens further you'll be dazzled by the brightest stars against the darkest of dark skies you will ever experience. In the early morning be on the lookout for the resident moose and her calf (Watch, but don't approach!!) or any of the many deer that ramble by. Then drop a fishing line into the river, just a few steps away, and catch yourself a trout or two for your breakfast. After breakfast, get out your binoculars, cameras, and maps (you did bring them, didn't you?) and choose your day's adventure, whether it be a challenging hike up a mountain trail, a leisurely stroll to a delightful waterfall, a 20-mile trip to world-famous Sun Valley via the stunning Trail Creek Summit, or exploring the largest wilderness in the lower 48 states. which is just on the other side of the fence! The road you enter the property from will also get you 20 miles deep into that wilderness along a broad river valley where you may see elk, moose, wolves, coyotes, foxes, beavers, deer, antelope, mountain goats, big horn sheep, black bears, and much more all thriving in natural abundance. Cougars (also called Mountain Lions) are absent in this area, fortunately, but may be observed in narrow, steep-sided canyons in other drainages nearby, if you dare.o

Be wowed by one of Idaho's most iconic peaks some call "The Matterhorn of Idaho". Be dazzled by the brightest stars against the darkest sky you'll ever see. Then fall asleep to the peaceful, soothing sounds of the Big Lost River. In the morning be on the lookout for the resident moose and her calf. Then drop a fishing line into the river and catch yourself a trout breakfast you can cook over the campfire. All this and more in one spacious and extremely private campsite surrounded by the millions of acres of wilderness. As if that isn't enough, you will also have water and electricity! The campsite is located in a clearing at the end of a 1,000 ft. private lane surrounded by thick willow bushes that block any view into it. Campfires are permitted unless weather conditions make it too dangerous or there are local fire restrictions in effect. Flat, easy access to the campsite and can accommodate RVs up to 30 feet. Just 20 miles to the world-class resort of Sun Valley!
