Preview: This 116-mile excursion starts in an arid, desolate portion of the Snake River plain, passes lava fields and ice caves, and winds through the lovely Wood River Valley to Sun Valley. From there, it continues over dramatic Galena Summit along the face of the aptly-named Sawtooth Range and past some of Idaho’s prettiest lakes before coming to an end in Stanley, whose 75 year-round residents enjoy access to some of the wildest country left in the lower 48 states. Special attractions: Idaho’s Mammoth Cave; Shoshone Ice Caves; Ketchum and Sun Valley; Hemingway Memorial; the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and views of the Sawtooth Range. This chapter is a complete description of a scenic drive with a route map and information on the best travel seasons, interesting sites, recreation opportunities, camping locations, and much more.
