I'm looking for a new place to do a several day backcountry hike this summer in Idaho. a group of us have gone into the Frank church a few time back into ship island and that is always a great time! But wanting to go somewhere new. Fishing opportunity has to be there. any ideas? 25 - 50 mile round trip hike. A trek where climbing gear is not required. I prefer hiking into a remote lake or section of river or creek to set up camp for a night, then on to the next the next day.... for fishing. Thanks for any ideas.
backcountry hike
- Thread starter ivorytip
- Start date
not 25-50 miles but had a lot of fun years ago , hiking into hidden lake on the rainbow trail. take off from big trinity lake.it is fairly easy hike .and good for two -three day trip. generally can expect no access until week after the fourth of july .decent cuthroat fishing in several different lakes but they are not big fish.8-12". it is getting more popular in recent years so you may or may not be alone back there.

Look at the sawtooth region...ample high mountain lakes with great fishing and incredible high country scenery.

Always liked to hike the queens river trail Ft#458 nice country some lakes in there to fish and the river. Trail takes off by Atlanta off of china basin road. Burned in there a few years back but should still be some nice scenery. You could go up the little queen to but I have never been up there so not familiar with it. Would love to see some pictures posted if you go that direction. Good luck.
looks like a good choice.
man this thread got me looking. Idaho sure has no lack of options.
