Stanley Idaho | Paradise in the Sawtooth Mountains

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

I am not sure a more perfect representation of a mountain exists than the one that sits in Stanley, Idaho. A town whose population, of mere 121 people, is outnumbered by the number of mountain peaks that surround it. Stanley sits in a valley at 6,000ft, tucked underneath one of the most incredible mountain ranges in the world, the Sawtooths. This mountainscape is what you picture when you imagine jagged, rocky peaks that hold snow well into the summer months. And at the base of those mountains are unimaginably blue lakes that drain into river filled with sockeye salmon and …

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

I’ll be honest, I never thought a place like this could exist in the state of Idaho. You know, Idaho, the state famous for potatoes, right? Well, over the past few years, we’ve been up to a few mountain towns in Idaho like Salmon, Ketchum, Boise, Pocatello, and Driggs, but nothing has come even close to McCall. McCall is a town that sits right on the edge of the pristine Payette Lake, surrounded by rocky mountains, dense pine forest, and of course, at the base of of Brundage Mountain ski resort. Between the boating opportunities, endless mountain sports, breweries, fly …

Long Weekend in Ketchum, Idaho | A.K.A. Sun Valley

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Like the rest of the population, we all try to get out and make 4th of July weekend more memorable than the average weekend. That extra day off from work, perfect weather, and of course the excitement of being overly patriotic for a day or two, it’s hard to beat. Back when we lived on the east coast, 4th of July usually meant sitting in traffic for hours in order to spend a day or two at the beach. But that’s rarely the case since we’ve moved to Utah. This year, we decided to head north towards cooler temperatures and …

Salmon, Idaho | Raddest Town You’ve Never Heard Of

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

I can’t tell you how many small towns we drove through on our road trip. So many that I lost count. But on our last day of the trip, heading off from the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana, we made our way into Idaho. If you’ve never been to Idaho, or have only driven through it on I-15, you will never understand how incredible this place is. Our time in Idaho barely scratched the surface of what this mountainous state has to offer. And yes, I said mountainous. Despite being famous for Potatoes, we saw more Bald Eagles than Potatoes while …
