close to Rainbow Lake? Champion Lakes is in close proximity, and everyone close by loves skiing at Sun Valley. Not much rain falls here at Rainbow Lake; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most snow while
July is mostly the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Salmon River, and Alturas Inlet Campground is a glorious campground nearby.

Hell Roaring Lake
 | 14 miles away 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.... |
