Day Hiking

Let us show you our favorite hikes to pristine alpine lakes, burbling mountain creeks, and spectacular view points.

Whether you’re looking for a half-day hike for the family or a day-plus trek across the Sawtooth Range, let Sawtooth Mountain Guides show you our favorite hikes to pristine alpine lakes, burbling mountain creeks, or spectacular view points.

Most full day hikes begin at Redfish Lake Lodge with a boat trip across one of the most scenic lakes in the country – a truly unique way to start and end your hike!
