But wait, there's more fun stuff to do in the Sawtooth Range. Packrat Lake is a tremendous spot to visit for more than one day, Iron Creek Campground is a tremendous spot to camp nearby, and if you're  
   here you can take a hike along the Bull Moose Trail.
Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Salmon River, and on a great day you can take a hike along the Black Warrior Creek Trail. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Sawtooth Range. Greyhawk by ResortQuest is a wonderful place to get some rest. This lake is so wonderful. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Packrat Lake has to offer, you can camp
 
               at Point Campground, and Lake Kathryn is a nearby lake that you could take a look at.
That right there is heaps already, but it continues; Packrat Lake has it all.

MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Elk lake is approximately 12 miles from the Grandjean campground. You can not reach it by car. The trail has mild elevation gain and parallels the river during many sections. There are no designated campgrounds at elk lake however 3 spots have obvious use. Deer and elk are commonly viewed near the lake, especially in the early morning or near dusk....

Imogene Lake
Imogene is a beautiful lake with a complex shoreline, worthy of hours of exploration, as are its family of 15 lakes and pools downstream from it....

Hell Roaring Lake
Hi, we (wife and I) walked into the lake the 3rd week of July 2008; we took the unmaintained road to about 200 yards from the trailhead. If you take this in lieu of the walk in, plan on a 40 minute drive to cover 5-miles; your vehicle (should be high-center 4-wd) will get scratched up from the branches adjacent to the road. The parking lot holds 6-vehicles...if you encounter another vehicle coming at you, there are very few areas where you can back into/get off the road to let the other pass; it is a 'long way' to back up on a challenging road. To get to the trail head from the parking lot, you will ford 2-branches of the river/stream (10 ? 20? across)...walk across deadfall with the aid of a walking stick...or walk thru the water...just below the knee. We walked in on a tuesday and encountered 15+ people coming/going on the path. Easy 2-mile walk, many mosquitoes...quicker coming back....
