Stanley Idaho is Beautiful
Spent the weekend in Stanley Idaho in Jerry’s Cabins on the bank of
the Salmon River. The scenery was amazing–breathtaking actually.
Pictures don’t do the place justice. The sky was a bit hazy due to
dust from road construction so my pictures in the valley were not a
clear as what my eyes could see. Also, the mountains were really
rugged and rocky–closest mountains I could compare are th Tetons.
Spent Saturday at Redfish lake. Visit http://www.sawtoothcamera.com
