Those portions of BOISE and VALLEY COUNTIES within the Middle Fork of the Salmon River drainage on the west side of the river upstream from and including the Sulphur Creek drainage, the drainage of Bear Valley Creek and the drainage of Deadwood River upstream from and including the Nine Mile Creek drainage on the west side and the No Man Creek drainage on the east side.
Sawtooth Zone Context
Central Idaho — Sawtooth Range
The Sawtooth zone covers Idaho's most photographed mountain range and the Stanley Basin below it. Elk hunting is strong but the terrain is uncompromising — granite peaks, glacial valleys, and significant elevation gain on every approach.
Stanley and Ketchum are the gateways. Snow and weather windows close earlier here than in lower zones.
