When year-round recreation meets picturesque views, you’ve arrived in Stanley, Idaho. This is Sawtooth Mountain country, Stanley’s most deserved accolade.
As a last chance opportunity to vacation before the next semester of school began, Stanley was our trip of choice for fresh powder, outdoor recreation and evenings of pleasant relaxation. The roads were perfectly clear as we drove up Highway 21. When a front wheel drive Toyota can make it up to Stanley in mid January, I give my thanks to the local world-class experts in snow plowing (there has to be a 4-year degree for that)!
My girlfriend and I arrived at the Sawtooth Hotel around 3:00 pm. Constructed in 1931, this vintage log cabin with a priceless view of the Sawtooth Mountains, had the most harmonious feeling. On the first floor, hand-built tables and chairs set the stage for an authentic getaway. On the second floor, we found small rooms with old fashioned amenities that make you feel like you are spending the night at grandma’s house. During the winter, the Sawtooth Hotel is open Friday through Sunday for meals. Expect to see mountain aficionados bundled up in ski pants, Salomon boots and Patagonia jackets stopping by for hot food and a cold drink after a long day of skiing.
As the sun set, we made our way up Wall Street in downtown Stanley and walked along the groomed cross country ski and snowmobile trails. The sun set behind the Sawtooth Mountains, lighting the white snow caps with a fiery glow, like a volcano was about to erupt.
The next morning we set our sights on the pristine cross country ski trails at Alturas Lake just 20 short miles south of Stanley. Beautiful blue skies, groomed trails and untouched snow (for the backcountry folk) made for an exemplary time. Multiple maps allow plenty of variety and direction throughout the trail system. Our four-hour, 13 kilometer cross country adventure afforded immaculate views and world class photo opportunities, and won’t soon be forgotten.
On our way back from Alturas Lake we stopped along Highway 75 at Red Fish Lake. The road was closed, but that didn’t stop us. With snowshoes on and a camera across my shoulder, we walked the short mile to Little Red Fish Lake. We cut 
through what looked like an abandoned campsite (campsites are closed in the winter) and just as we arrived at the lake, the clouds dispersed as the sun illuminated the sky, exposing the mountains as though hidden behind large castle walls for hundreds of years.
Rounding out our perfect day with the perfect evening, we returned to the Sawtooth Hotel for a refreshing brew and signature burger that really hit the spot. The next time you’re looking for a recreational paradise with beautiful sights, stop in Stanley to satisfy your outdoor cravings.
You just never know where Idaho will show up.
Saturday afternoon, January 28th, we were at Bellevue Square in Bellevue, Washington handing out FREE ski packages all throughout Idaho. Working together with Microsoft and Escape Outdoors, guests of the Microsoft Store were given the opportunity to sample Kinect Sports: Season Two—which includes an awesome all-new ski game—and then enter to win prizes.
And what great prizes they were: free lift tickets to Brundage, Schweitzer, Tamarack and Sun Valley—who added a stay at the resort. Also included in each drawing where substantial gift certificates at Escape Outdoors and a copy of Kinect Sports: Season Two for the Xbox.
Winners were drawn every hour and each one took home a collection of items. Of course, none of them went to Bellevue Square that day thinking they’d win anything, so all of them were quite pleased. Such as the winner of the 4pm drawing who’s off to Tamarack and Schweitzer after he outfits himself with new winter gear from Escape Outdoors.
The event was hosted in the back gaming area of the Microsoft Store on their huge screen as well as at Escape Outdoors. Idaho brochures and Travel Guides were on-hand for reading—and free for the taking.
Be sure to visit IdahoWinter.org and enter each week to win awesome Idaho snow prizes and packages.

As noted in an earlier post, I had the opportunity to spend a few days recreating in and around Wallace in northern Idaho, where much of the city is on the National Register of Historic Places. Outdoor recreation is everywhere, but I would be remiss if I overlooked Wallace’s downtown amenities.
As a buy-local kind of guy, I look forward to the local digs that only small towns can offer. 
To my pleasant surprise, there are two outstanding breweries in Wallace. Walking along the well-known Bank Street, just down the road from the center of the universe, I noticed large brew kettles (coppers as they say in the “biz”) through the glass windows.
Wallace Brewery is a three year old brewery that prides itself on keeping its beer relevant to the history of Wallace. Rumor has it that there were a handful of extra special women who worked in the Bordellos during the early 1900s. It seems only fitting that the coppers be given sometimes colorful names like Stella and Roxy to represent the different types of beer being brewed. While beers named Dirty Blonde, Jackleg Stout and Orehouse Amber honor Wallace’s rich mining and bordello history.
I also visited North Idaho Mountain Brew on the opposite side of town. Established in 2008, the owners of North Idaho Mountain Brew brought a dream to reality after years of home brewing in Alaska. The brewery has five brewed delights on tap that relate to northern Idaho including Mountain Top Amber, Summit Gold and Loft Honey, all with significance to the local ski resorts. Beer from both breweries can be found in pubs across northern Idaho. The breweries host home brew get-togethers so stop in for a sampler, bring in some of your own personal masterpiece to share and tempt your taste buds with these flavorful beers!
My final hours in Wallace took me to the south side of town. Ready for a snack, I stopped in at D & G Bakery. If you’re looking for a fresh baked treasure like your mom might make, this is the place: breads, cakes, cookies, espresso…you won’t be disappointed. After a mouth-watering chocolate chip cookie I made my way down 5th Street where a delicious scent filled the air. A large, old fashioned smoker sits outside the Smoke House BBQ and Saloon, calling to empty bellies and beckoning one and all to experience an entree along with the aroma. If it’s not mealtime, pop inside anyway, have the beverage of your choice and admire the building’s history. You can’t miss the 100 foot wildlife mural on the back wall painted by John Hart in 1980. I am told he was compensated for his work with beer…sounds like a great deal to me!
With the sun setting, creating a beautiful sunset glow over the hills, it was time to enjoy dinner at the 
1313 Club. It’s pretty interesting how it got its name: first, its original bar was 13 feet high by 13 feet wide and second, it was the 13th bar built in Wallace and deserved a snazzier name than “The 13th Bar”. The 1313 Club serves local Wallace brews and has a large menu to satisfy any appetite. The 1313′s great food, fun atmosphere and historic touches speak for themselves.
When in Idaho, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the small town (4 blocks long by 9 blocks wide) of historic Wallace. During my one day in town, I was only able to experience just a few of the wonderful breweries, shops and restaurants, but there are many more hidden treasures I look forward to visiting on my next trip to this inviting little city.
Part II, written by guest blogger Austin Rogerson
Where’s Waldo? Remember him, the mystery man wearing a camouflage type red and white sweater, matching hat and blue pants? I took a trip to a small, quaint historic town in northern Idaho where many people might ask, where’s Wallace?
Wallace, Idaho, home to a mere 784 people and a long-standing 
history is a timeless experience just off I-90. After arriving at the Wallace Inn, I immediately felt something special about the town, but I couldn’t quite grasp what it was until I had some time to explore. It was like an episode of Cheers, where everyone knew my name! Well, not quite, no one knew my name, but locals acted like we had been neighbors for years. As captivating as the people in town is the history that surrounds it. The rich mining in Wallace led to the building of 13 bars and 13 churches – so you knew exactly where everyone was on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Until 1988 when the last one closed, there were five bordellos in town to accompany the lifestyles of the lead, copper and silver miners. So if you see small huts (usually about five in a row) or extremely steep, covered staircases from the street to the second story as you’re walking through town, you know you’re in the midst of some Wallace bordello history. Unfortunately, the Oasis Bordello Museum is closed from October to April, but it’s an absolute must see during the warmer months.
Outdoor enthusiasts also have reason to be excited about this small town in the Idaho panhandle. Whether you’re into skiing and snowmobiling in the winter months or mountain biking and trail running in the summer, Wallace is the ticket for everything recreation. Two pristine mountains, Silver Mountain and Lookout Mountain are both within 10 miles of Wallace. They offer hundreds of miles of road and trail riding, including five nationally recognized trails (Trail of the Coeur d’ Alenes, Northern Pacific, Route of the Hiawatha, Milwaukee Scenic and Centennial Trail) with variable levels of incline so it’s easy to find a ride that’s right for you.
During my time in Wallace, I took the short 10 mile drive to Idaho-Montana border on what many would call a perfect day on Lookout Mountain. Sun shining and fresh powder in 30 degree weather, hello paradise! For the first time I 
experienced the adventurous side of snow-shoeing. After riding up the main lift at Lookout, I ventured down the backside of the mountain through the trees and untouched snow. The spectacular mountain scenery combined with three hours of snowshoeing epitomized what it felt like to find a hidden mountain secret. After seeing endless lifts with shorts lines and beautifully groomed runs I look forward to my next trip to truly take advantage of the slopes and experience what it feels like to be a “local” with the mountain all to myself!
Wallace, Idaho– a place you’ve probably never heard of, but a place you’ll never forget. When you’re in town, be sure to visit the Wallace Mining Museum & Visitor Center for fun facts, cool sights and endless information about the unique town of Historic Wallace.

By November 2010, I was already anxious for my 2011 rafting season to get started. I hadn’t been on a river since October and I was missing it badly. Typically, I don’t get on the river until March, and I’m not rafting regularly until May. I knew I couldn’t wait. Plus, my fancy new Kokatat GMER dry suit was just the piece of gear I needed to extend my season. So, I thought “Why not go in January, why not try to go every month?”
January
Living in Boise, my original plan was to travel to Washington or Oregon in search of new runs, taking advantage of some winter rains that surge the rivers over there pretty regularly, but my plan didn’t gain much traction and it was looking like a lost cause. Then, on a sunny, dry day when the skiing was marginal, football was over, and there was nothing better to do, a couple buddies and I decided to hit the river and enjoy some sun. That was January 30, 2011.
We ran the Main Payette and had a great day. I discussed my lofty goal with the crew and a few of them decided to join me in my quest to run a river every month in 2011. We even decided we’d try to run a river in IDAHO every month—a bigger challenge than expanding our territory to the entire PNW since many of our rivers in Idaho freeze during the winter.
February
February was a similar situation as January: sunny day, no fresh powder, no football on TV. We ran the Main Payette again on the 13th. Cabin fever was running rampant among our boater friends and we picked up a few more participants.
March
My first run in March was in Washington on the 12th. The Wind river dumps into the Columbia just below Hood River, OR. It was a long drive, but the chance to run some challenging water on a new-to-me river was too tempting to pass up. I was excited at the opportunity to log a Personal First Decent (PFD). I ran the 6-mile run on the Wind twice that day, then drove back to Boise that evening.
The next day, I ran the Staircase section on the South Fork of the Payette. That was an exhausting weekend. I followed it up the next weekend with another Staircase run, this time on a prototype paddle cat that my friend Ted had been working on. After that, I again headed west with my dad to meet some friends in Grants Pass for a multi-day trip on the Illinois River. Unfortunately, the rains were relentless and the river was too high for us to run. Instead, we spent three days running a swollen Rogue River. Another PFD, another great trip. The rain rarely let up for us, but the waterfalls were amazing and the scenery and solitude were exceptional.
April
You’ll see a recurring theme in my river log. I run the Main Payette and Staircase sections a lot. They are so close and convenient (to Boise). I can run up after work or go on the weekend and still be back in town to spend time with the family. On two different weekends in April, I was able to ski one day and raft the next. Outdoor nirvana.
May
The highlight of my May rafting was running Marsh Creek, the Middle Fork of the Salmon and the Main Salmon on the 21st. It was about 200 miles in seven days. At the takeout, we were picked up by our wives and went straight to the Lochsa for Memorial Day weekend, and annual tradition.
June
There was a decent high water peak in May, but most of the high water fun came in June. The Murtaugh at 20,000 is huge water. I took every chance I had to run Staircase at peak flows this year. I went up on Wednesday the 22nd to catch it at 8,000cfs. By Friday, the flow was was 9,500cfs and I got in another run. It was so much fun that I went up on Saturday for two more runs, then I headed to the North Fork of the Boise on Sunday the 26th and ran it at 5,100cfs.
July
High water excitement continued into July. A group of us converged in Yellowpine, as we do every 4th of July weekend, and ran the East Fork of the South Fork of the Salmon at 1,600cfs at the Johnson Creek gauge. It was HUGE. The highest I have run it previously was 650cfs. There were several beat downs, frame grabs, high-sides, and a couple of flips. After that weekend, I spent much of July running with family. I also got an invite on a Selway trip on the 17th. We had 3.3′ on the Paradise gauge, unheard of flows for mid-July. We had 80-90 degree sunny weather with a really fun, splashy flow.
August
August started off with more tame family runs. On the 18th, the North Fork Payette had finally receded to an approachable flow. At 2100cfs, it was still higher than I’d run before. I stuck to the lower 5 miles, the easiest section of class V on the NF Payette. It was big and plenty challenging. It was also really fun. So much fun, that I was up there as often as I could be, logging four runs in 10 days between the 18th and the 28th. YouTube
September
Labor Day weekend is the Payette River Rendezvous. A large group of catarafters gather for some rowdy river time on the North Fork of the Payette. We often have a dozen or more catarafts running together down the world-class steep class V rapids. After that, I enjoyed a 7-day rafting and fishing trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon. These September Middle Fork trips are an almost annual event with a great group of friends, my wife and my Dad. YouTube
October
The Murtaugh was still running at 6,000cfs in October. Usually it is down to a trickle by mid-summer. So, we had to capitalize on the opportunity to run it in the fall on the 8th.
November
November’s run on the 5th was with a group that does an annual November run on the Main Payette. I think we had about 15 people on the river. This may have been the coldest run of the year.
December
I was dreading December’s run. I knew it was going to be really cold. I was worried the Main Payette would be frozen and we’d have to travel farther to find running water with no ice bridges. Well, on December 10th, my buddy Ted and I took a raft up to the Main Payette to see if there was an open channel. We saw an impassible ice bridge just above Horseshoe Bend and we were pretty sure we wouldn’t be able to run. But, after driving a bit farther to Beehive Bend, then turning around and driving back down the river, we were able to road-scout and confirm that there we no bridges from Beehive to Parnell Beach.
We launched and floated for a couple hours down the icy river with sunshine in our faces. There was ice all along the banks and ice forming and floating down the river. One section was only about 20 feet wide and was starting to get choked up with ice. It looked like it would be completely closed within hours. We got lucky and were able to complete our goal at the very last opportunity. Twelve months of rafting in Idaho. My bucket list just got a little shorter.
I finished the year breaking all my previous records for number of river days, vertical feet and miles. I spent 74 days rafting. I ran 891.5 miles of river. And I descended 26,578 feet (or 5 miles, 178 feet). I also ran 4 new rivers and ran several other rivers at higher flows than I’d run them before. I never flipped or swam. Well, except when I fell out of the raft taking a leak. Now, it’s time to look forward to 2012. Come on SNOW!

‘Twas the month of December and throughout the Gem State
The elves were so busy as not be late.
For Santa was coming with a sleigh full of fun

Let’s all ask Santa to move here next year.
I heard Santa say as he flew off in the night
This state is a Gem
In fact out of sight!
One of the best things about the sun setting so early this time of year is that it leaves more time to enjoy the gorgeous holiday light displays all over the great state of Idaho. If you’re planning on being out and about this season here are some sparkling events to take in.

Saturday, December 3, 2011 was forecasted to be a beautiful day in Sun Valley, Idaho and mother nature did not disappoint. The air was crisp, cold and mantled by a clear azure sky from horizon to horizon. My friend and I were anxious to strap on our snowshoes and tread some powder. 
Immediately, we were faced with a dilemma: where do you snowshoe in Sun Valley? We were staying at the incomparable Sun Valley Lodge and decided to query the concierge. She informed us that The Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center trails were not yet officially open, but there were several excellent nearby alternatives. She provided us with a couple of maps designating nordic ski and snowshoe trails along Idaho Highway 75 heading north toward Galena Summit.
Determined to find some pow-pow to play in, we hopped in the car and headed north. Along the way, we saw several nordic 
enthusiasts enjoying the many groomed trails off the highway. The concierge recommended a snowshoe trailhead at Billy’s Bridge about 10 miles outside of town. With clear roads and immaculate weather, we were there in no time. We quickly geared up and crunched our way to the trailhead about 100 yards from the parking turnout.
The awesomeness began not two steps into the trail. There, situated along the tree line overlooking a clearing across from an impressive mountainside, stands a mountain goat viewing porch outfitted with a bench, informational display and two viewing scopes. From this perch, the lucky viewer can observe native mountain goats traversing the jagged rocks. We were not so lucky, but we were still treated to the breathtaking scenery!
Finally, we hit the trail with gusto. The snow was perfect; light, fluffy and glowing in the sunlight. We followed the well marked trail toward the creek where it turned and led us along the bank until we came to Billy’s Bridge. We crossed the bridge and stopped to take in the view. Picturesque would be putting it mildly. I could have spent all afternoon in that spot, but we carried on. The trail brought us along the other side of the creek
and further into the clearing with stands of pine and aspen shooting out of the snow. We could not help but stop several times to drink in the beauty. We anticipated seeing some wildlife, but I was hoping for the small cuddly variety rather than large and growling. After about 45 minutes, we reversed our tracks and headed back. It saddened us to end our trek, but we had scheduled massages back at the lodge. Priorities!
Back at the viewing porch, we took one last hopeful sweep of the landscape and marveled at its grandeur. I look forward to returning to Billy’s Bridge in the future as a new favorite winter destination. A big thank you to mother nature and the helpful staff at Sun Valley Lodge for such a memorable adventure!

I am always in search of a place for grown ups to be able to sit and enjoy some great brews and be able to have conversations here in the North Idaho area.
What always happens is I find a place that has great Craft Beer choices, but it is just not a place to sit and hang out with friends and be able to have conversations. Or…I find a place that is good to hang out in, but the beer choices are minimal or they just don’t have any craft beer at all (why I have no idea!).
My recent find is Mulligan’s in the Best Western Coeur d’Alene Inn. If you have lived in the area for a long time you will remember that at one time Mulligan’s formerly known as Roxy’s was a hot spot in the area in days past. It is well past it’s Roxy days (thank goodness-pukers need not apply), but with the addition of a new GM to the hotel he is wanting to put Mulligan’s back on the radar. He has added a couple Laughing Dog Brews to his taps and is going to rotate in other regional craft brews in the future.
Now the beer choices are not elaborate, but at least they have started on the right path. So with some good brews on tap, decent food, and a quiet environment that you can sit and enjoy conversations with friends it just may be one of my new hang out spots. Oh…and did I mention they have a magician that is in the bar entertaining folks a few night a week?
What places have you found that you like to spend time in here in the North Idaho area? Maybe we need to get a list going!
