     Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Salmon River Mountains. Good hiking is available along the Indian Ridge Trail, and a pleasant visit to Little Pony Meadows is a good way to spend an afternoon. There's just no way someone can get bored here at Bear Lake. Stay the night at Chinook Campground, and there's tremendous hiking along the Camp Creek Cutoff Trail. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Bear Lake has to offer, you can camp at Shiefer  
   Campground, and in case you don’t mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Salmon River - South Fork.
All the outdoors cool stuff in the Salmon River Mountains will keep you coming back repeatedly. A pretty lake like Steamboat Lake in the neighborhood of Bear Lake is a splendid spot to visit. A normal amount of rain falls here at Bear Lake; the wettest month of the year is usually January, that's the one that snows the most, and the
 
               driest month of the year is July. This lake is so wonderful. Secesh River is a magnificent whitewater spot close to Bear Lake, and do explore Blue Lake, it's a scenic lake.
At Bear Lake during the months of summer highs are in the 70's, and through the night it cools down to the 30's. Daytime highs through the winter are in the 30's with winter lows in the 0's overnight here at Bear Lake. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Brundage Mountain; you can go for a hike on the South Fork Sheep Creek Trail. The Salmon River Mountains scenery is always beautiful.

Amazing escape! A fun hike and a fantastic fishing lake!...

Miners Peak Trail
14 miles away
The trail has not been maintained. I was able to hike it easily to the top 2 or 3 years ago. Not today...It was overgrown a lot and substantial deadfall. There are some burned spots also. That said, it's beautiful and a rigorous hike. Wear pants as the twigs will scratch you, and take insect repellant. Check your body for ticks also. The lookout is cool....

Kennally Creek Trail
18 miles away
I love the Kennally Creek area and have camped at the Kennally Creek Campground for over thirty years.  I have never done much hiking but have found I really enjoy it.  I am having a family reunion next summer and some of the members are hikers, fisherman, horse back riders--just ourtdoors people in general.  I saw on the map at the campground that there are several lakes up the trail and was wondering what lakes are accessible from trails--in particular, Nick Lake, as well as others.  Any information you could provide would be wonderful! ...

Brundage Mountain

...itors know it's easier to find a fresh line than a lift line at Brundage on a weekday. With an average of 325 inches of annual snowfall, the powder days are plentiful. Clear skies reveal sweeping views of Payette Lake & McCall off one crest, and endless mountain scenery reaching all the way to Oregon's Blue Mountains off the opposite side. The only challenge is deciding how long to savor the natural beauty before plunging back in for more terrific turns. Fortunately, with 1,800 vertical feet and more than 1,500 acres of in-bound terrain, there's plenty of time to enjoy both the snow and the spectacular scenery.
Weekends and holidays are lively at Brundage Mountain. Visitors frequently enjoy live entertainment in ''Smoky's Pub'', our adults-only space which features weekly apres-ski entertainment and a big screen TV.
Families will enjoy the convenient location of the drive up Kids Center, which offers a wide selection of lesson options for all age groups and skill levels, in addition to licensed day care programs for those too little to tackle the slopes.
After the lessons, u...
