- We don’t believe in the idea that places should remain hidden. We believe that these gems should be shared for all who want to experience them. That being said I kind of hope this place remains the quiet retreat it is. This spot is one of Chad’s favorite in Idaho. I had never been, even though I have driven by it a hundred times on my way to Stanley. Stanley has always been my favorite place in Idaho, but it does get crowded in peak summer months. If only there was a place down the road from Stanley that was quieter during vacation season…

Welcome to Grandjean Idaho. Just 40 miles south of Stanley this small settlement underneath the Sawtooth Mountains has inexplicably been hidden from vacationers and Idaho residents alike. Settled over a hundred years ago by Emile Grandjean this place is right out of an Idaho history book. Six miles off Highway 21, nestled deep in a gorgeous valley, it’s the perfect place to get lost for a weekend.
The main attraction here is the Sawtooth Lodge, built in 1927 as a hunting lodge by Babe Hansen. Today the lodge serves as the central hub of all activity in Grandjean. If you don’t want to pitch a tent at the many sites along the Payette River, you can grab an old cabin or hook up your RV. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the lodge and pick up essentials like ice and milkshakes. And this isn’t just hot dogs and hamburgers, it’s a fresh, farm to table menu with local ingredients. There’s a geo thermal pool, fire pits, nature walks, bike riding, guided horseback rides and much more to do at the lodge.
Finally, two miles away from the lodge is the Sacajawea hot springs, located right along the crystal clear Payette river. For me, natural hot springs are hit and miss. I’ve laid in black mud and gotten out of a few still smelling like sulfur. But these pools are pristine, no smell, beautiful sandy floors, the sound of the Payette singing in your ears. These hot springs quickly became one of my favorite in all of Idaho.
I think it’s important also to say that this video isn’t sponsored by the Sawtooth Lodge or anyone for that matter. We aren’t under any obligation to sell you on this place. We just truly dig Grandjean and the Sawtooth Lodge and think you will too. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time!

Have a question for us about Grandjean or the Sawtooth Lodge? Leave it here!
No I didn't see this place 🤗
@@fatimahshaheen4865 Well now you know for next time!
We are rafting the Snake River in late June, would the hot springs along the Payette be washed out?
☺☺☺ nice
Great job
Thank You!
So I’m watching this video and I go man I recognize that dude. Hey Chad nice work! It’s been awhile. The last time I saw you, you were working for Ken Graham. I’m living in Sandpoint now. Have you guys made a video of my area?
Ya we were just up there this winter! ua-cam.com/play/PLJqifZq_-h0pDFWLTjrM7AsuwLAl2_Uoi.html
Planning on hiking the sawtooth mountains then relax in the springs after so excited!!!
Sounds like a good time Noah have fun 🙂
Awesome!! I have worked for the Sawtooth National Forest for the past 10 years and love it here.....
Sweet! Thanks for looking after the Sawtooths for all those years 🙌🙌🙌 people don’t realize how much work those places take to manage we appreciate you.
What’s up felllow Idahoans
Love Idaho ❤️ thanks for sharing. I’m will looking for this place for sure next summer!
Auntra Channel thanks for watching! It’s a great spot, you’ll love it!
Don't forget about all of the other hot springs a short drive away. Bonneville, kirkham, Pine Flats ...
Matthew Singer yep all good hot springs as well 👍
Do any of these hot springs stay useable during the spring runoff, say late June?
I Love Grandjean, we used to go stay at the campground for preseason soccer camp. Ice cream, pool and soccer, couldn't go wrong. Very special place.
I spent every summer and every weekend up in Grandjean at my cabin. Glad you guys had a great time but we like keeping Grandjean on the down low unlike Stanley :o)
Great place to have a cabin! The Sawtooth Lodge didn't share your same feelings about keeping it quiet 😉
Hey Jon & Chad. My family and I have enjoyed Grandjean since 1975. It is my absolute favorite place in Idaho. Chad, you are my neighbor! Peter and I live a few doors North-ish of you. Thank you for the great videos! I will subscribe.
That's great Cheri! I'll let Chad know his neighbor subscribed, small world!
I'm so glad I watched this video! I'm headed to the sawtooth mountains in August and was worried about finding a camping spot. I'll be car camping and hammock camping.....no fancy stuff.
Heather Perdue yea it can be tough to find a camping spot in Stanley while school is out.
This spring, come join us for a trip to Goldbug Hot springs near Salmon ID!
Jessica Knoelk sure! Email us in the spring and we can set it up

MR. SIR thanks mr 1000 🙌
@@JonConti My pleasure! Just found your channel, and I love it! Hope to meet you guys on the trail someday.
MR. SIR thank you sir. It means a lot to us when people tell us they dig the channel. It keeps us motivated to keep it going!
Thank you so much guy's is very cool place 👍
Your welcome! Did you go out to Grandjean yet?
Great documentary! Really good content.
Thanks Andrew, glad you liked it!
I love your videos guys! Great editing and content. Are you guys planning on doing a video about trekking Mt. Borah/ how to get through Chickenout Ridge?
Ty thank you so much! That's really great to hear especially just starting out, it really keeps us motivated to keep going. So right now I have 16 Idaho videos banked, 4 from a trip to China we did, and then we made a series in Moab Utah that will come out next year and a series about Boise that will also come out next year. And so we have this big sheet of photo paper up in the studio and we are collecting ideas on there for what to capture next year. So I will be adding Borah to that list, but it may be a while until it comes out! Thanks for the idea though, we will make sure to give you a shout out in the video.
If you cross the river over the bridge to the summer homes of Wapiti you usually can't have fires.
That might be the wilderness boundary.
Great video!!
Thanks! It's a great spot.
Awe, the server is my nieces husband Jesse
Jenifer Fisher Cool! The whole staff up there is great!
Just moved to Meridian a few weeks ago from AZ. Planning our first camping trip for next weekend. I think you 2 just showed us where we'll be headed!
Kevin Clair that’s awesome! Welcome to Idaho🍻
How's the fishing???
We can't say for certain, but Chad has never seen people fish where we were. We both take our families to Bull Trout Lake which is just a short drive up the road towards Stanley. Keep heading North on highway 21 towards Stanley and on the left there will be a road called Bull Trout Road which will take you to the lake.
My family and I go up to grandjean quite often and we are a fishing family! The fishing isn’t the best possible place but there are bits for sure
Emily Schmidt is there a good spot close by Grandjean?
@@emilyschmidt9963 Tons of fish if you know what you're doing. Native mountain kid Wapiti summer homes Grandjean Idaho. You can't camp with fires over the bridge going into summer homes or flats.
And this is why there are no good spots left here in idaho to get away from people and enjoy wilderness. Tourists are ruining our state and im sick of it. Too many damn people ruining idaho
Lol. 7th least densely populated state in the union. If you’re having problems finding good spots out there you’re not doing it right.
I moved to Idaho from Arizona and enjoyed your travel video. I look forward to more of your videos. Idaho is so beautiful! Thanks.
Holly Macon thanks Holly and welcome to Idaho!
