My old stomping grounds you should see that lake in the middle of summer and its just one of many great hikes in the area. The Sawtooth mountains have a lot of wild mountain goats but not usually tamed goats i have seen videos where some people put saddle bags on tame goats and use them as pack mules
This was awesome video, gorgeous filming, thanks for making it. I'm definitely going to spend more time in Idaho. I blew by Stanley while on a trip from Missoula, MT to Sun Valley, ID as me and my son followed the Salmon river off Hwy 93. After seeing your video I really wished I hadn't moved so fast and had stopped to check out Sawtooth Lake, et al.
Folks here breed those goats and train them as pack animals. A friend uses them (without bells) for hunting. Unlike using horses or mules, he doesn't have to bring fodder, and the goats follow the lead and tend not to roam. When he gets an animal, they help him haul it out.
Thinking about backpacking to this area next week. Are there campsites/ areas to put a tent up at Alpine lake? I’ve read that Sawtooth lake has limited areas for tents, so was thinking about Alpine lake.
Awesome! We did see backpackers tent camping in both areas -- Alpine & Sawtooth Lake. But I couldn't tell you the exact number of sites for each area. Alpine was so relaxing
Hi! It's actually Lake View campground right on Stanley Lake. We really lucked out with that spot. That particular site couldn't fit much more than our size (18.5ft), but they have larger sites where we saw big rigs.
Wait till July still lots of snow there. I will be going up there on may 28th for 10 days. and plan on going back after that trip for another 10 days and rinse and repeat for the whole summer. I try and get 100 miles of hiking each month from May - Oct up there. This trip will be short distance hikes based on the lower snow elevation. I will hit sawtooth lake trail and if lucky might make it in 3 miles but highly doubt that will happen with the current snow levels
I'm going to all 3 lakes on November 9, in case you see me. Im bringing my Beagle and correct backpack gear and fly rod. I hate social media of all types, bye.
Hey! Drones are not permitted in the wilderness area, you’re right. We didn’t fly there. There are plenty of signs saying it’s a “no drone zone”. We flew within the national forest, where we were camping.
Wow really incredible, thanks for sharing, be safe and have fun out there 👋
Great new RV couple to watch! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Safe Travels!
Thank you so much! We're really liking this lifestyle and sharing bits of it through our videos. :)
Came for the remodel - stayed for the hikes. Great content! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for watching! We like to mix it up with Rv content and outdoor content
We used to spend time every summer in the Sawtooths. Now in Florida, i cherish my opportunities to go back and visit, which is every 3 years or so.
So cool-- absolutely amazing footage. Great work!! Glad everything went well and you were able to get this on video for all of us. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!
What a stunning scenery, simply gorgeous.😮😮🥾🥾
It was beautiful. This is just a tiny glimpse of how gorgeous Idaho really is!

Also check out Redfish Lake Lodge next time.

beautiful video guys. stay safe
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy you two sooo much!
Aww thank you!
They are pack goats! They are commonly used for packing camping gear and hunting.
It was in the 90s on Sunday when I hiked it. Gorgeous hike but I would have liked it better if we're cooler weather.
Ugh, as someone who hates hiking in the heat I feel for you! It reached the 80s the day we did it but as you heard it was very cool in the morning.
RV'S and a Mermaid 🧜♀️.
👍
My old dog copper, just died of cancer at 10. My new beagle Penny will jump that and find a bear, yes i love that view though, ill be there soon
New sub ! Liked 👍👍🤭
Thanks so much!

I didn’t hear a mention of the campground. Is that Iron Creek Campground? Any idea of RV length limit there?
Hi! It's actually Lake View campground right on Stanley Lake. We really lucked out with that spot. That particular site couldn't fit much more than our size (18.5ft), but they have larger sites where we saw big rigs.
Anyone knows how deep the lake is? I've been searching, but can't find it anywhere.
I didn't even know humans were in Idaho, thought it was just for potatoes and remaining dinosaurs
Idaho is so beautiful!
You are correct! Potatoes and dirt. No reason to go. 😉
😂😂😂
Remaining.
Remaining.
Goats make good pack animals people use and train them in the mountain trails.
Love that! They seemed right at home
Goats are for sleeping bag snuggles...
What date if the year it was? Want to venture to Sawtooths this summer, not sure if June is good time.

This was in July!

The goats...it appeared to me they were just privately owned goats.
They were! Never seen that on a hike before.
They use goats as pack animals Llamas too
I don't think drones are permitted at Sawtooth national ground.

I love this part of the country - Cramer Lakes is my favorite: ua-cam.com/video/bJitfjtBsyY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Oh it's because goats outnumber you there
When you see goats anywhere, they should be higher and in rocky spots, with horns. If not, you doing something wrong.
