     Having a perfect time in the Sawtooth Range is trouble-free. In the event that you don't mind getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Salmon River, and if you've had enough of Vernon Lake, Edna Lake is nearby. Vernon Lake gets a common amount of yearly rain; the month of January is the wettest with most of the snow while July is usually the driest month. This lake is so wonderful.

               River is a magnificent whitewater spot near Vernon Lake, and there are magnificent places to discover along the Yuba River Trail. A nice spot to camp here at Vernon Lake is Smoky Bear Campground, and you're almost certainly into lakes, Virginia Lake is one of those close by. What a place this is for outdoors folks. Camping at Alturas Inlet Campground is always a glorious experience, and there is a tremendous hiking trail close by called the Bull Moose Trail.

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....

Elk Lake
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....
