A canyon with rocky cliffs and autumn foliage.

This outdoor recreational space is just one of the many reasons travelers make their way to Southwest Idaho. But Sawtooth National Recreation Area isn't the only attraction in this corner of the world. Fisher Creek Trail is nearby and worthy of a visit.

"The best feature of the motel were the mineral baths looking at the sawtooth mountains. The drawbacks were the open campsite directly behind the rooms. People were awake and playing music and talking all night. The front desk clerk (male) was rather rude."

"Great location in Stanley. We enjoyed the fantastic views and sounds of the river as well as proximity to great hiking in the Sawtooth Mountains! The cabin was larger than expected. We look forward to returning. As mentioned by others, expect sulfur smell - most noticeable in bathrooms."
