Boise Real Estate Report

While these are not for everyone, those people who are able and do not attend, are in fact missing some of the most breathtaking scenery and great fishing. The photo above is from an overnighter we did last year. We had to walk over 6 foot snow fields to get there. Needless to say we were a little early for fishing, but did find time to finish the last Harry Potter book with my son Noah. This year we camped at a lake up the valley a ways. What a great trip, short hike, beautiful vistas, solitude, wildflowers, fishing. One evening we bouldered to a rock knob above camp and were treated to terrific views of the Sawtooths and Boulder-White Clouds, just beyond a field of lakes spread below us! We had deer in camp, a smore making contest, poptarts for breakfast and had a great bonding experience away from the distractions of everyday life.

The options are endless, daytrips, overnighters to 2 week epics. For those of you that are past clients and would sell or buy Boise real estate from us in the future, give us a call and we can give you some ideas. For those of you that are future clients in search Boise real estate, we will give you a helping hand with an itinerary as well. For those of you that are Boise Idaho real estate agents , or are related to said. I am afraid I will have to send you to a lake with no fish at all. Or even better the one with the six mile hike uphill in both directions and a lot of 6 inch brookies. Some of the areas that I have not been to that I am aiming for include the Bighorn Crags, the Trinity mountain area above Featherville, Big Buck lake in the Frank Church Wilderness Area. There are so many options that, much like the whitewater in Idaho, I fear I will run out of time to sample all the areas that I hear calling my name.

A few specifics for those of you that need help this second.

The bench lakes above Redfish are a great day trip, easy hike.

Collie lake off the road in to the Marsh Creek trail head is a more aggressive day trip that has decent fishing, no real trail.

For overnighters there are a couple of sets of lakes out of the trailhead at Grandjean, 4 to 6 miles one way.

Another good overnighter with terrific views of the Sawtooths from the west, would be to the no name lake behind Tyee Mountain. 2.5 miles one way.High clearance vehicles with tough tires required, no real trail. The views from the ridge east of the lake are unsurpassed. Good fishing, privacy(never seen another person there).

For a longer 4-10 day trip the Queens river loop starting near Atlanta is great. There are hundreds of lakes and side trips. Another good option if you have a friend that is not a backpacker to drive is to leave from Atlanta and come out in either Stanley or Grandjean, via ten lake basin.

The epic of all epics would be to start at the Langer lake trailhead off highway 21 and Bi-sect the Frank Church wilderness area. There are hundreds of options But I would probably hit the middle fork around the mouth of Rapid river and then climb out of the canyon to Middle fork peak and tour the Bighorn Crags, Back down to the river at Waterfall creek(the view up Waterfall creek from the spot were the trail begins it's decent to the river, rivals the Sawtooths and Grand Tetons) and up big creek to the Stoddard trail. That brings you out Just below were the Middle Fork of the Salmon, aka middle-salmon joins the main Salmon. This one is a two week trip. If you plan ahead you can re-supply at Thomas Creek or at the Flying "B". Arnold aviation has the mail route and I think it is cheapest to "Mail" yourself something to one of the Backcountry strips. I believe Thursday is mail day.

I need to win the lottery, then I would have a fighting chance to get to all of the fun stuff there is to do in this state. Did I miss a good one and you can not help but share? Be my guest, you can reach me at my website boiserelocation.com. As a side note we have goats that we use to pack our gear with. We do occasionally rent them out to pre approved friends and members of the public. If you have a tired back they are a great option, albeit a little slower than a horse. but it does not hurt when they step on you. Goodbye for now. I am off to dream of my next trip to one of the crown jewels of the great State of Idaho.
