Sawtooth National Forest Trails

There are more than a few trails in the lists below, but these are not all the available trails in the Sawtooth National Forest. As the Minidoka Ranger District lies south of the Snake River Valley, some of the high points along those trails can give you some great views over the Great Salt Lake and surrounding countryside to the south.
