Discover Sawtooth National Forest RV rentals for memorable road trips

Initially thought to have harbored Native Americans for just a few hundred years, archaeologists have discovered spear points, pottery shards, and other artifacts that indicate that humans have, in fact, dwelled in Sawtooth National Forest for at least 12,000 years. European trappers and explorers arrived in the area in the early 19th century to map the region. Their efforts helped guide the pioneers west in the mid-1800s during the gold rush. Sawtooth National Forest was originally established as Sawtooth Forest Reserve in 1905, and its status was upgraded to Sawtooth National Forest in 1972, granting it some additional protection from mining and lumber companies. This Idaho state park gets an astounding million visitors annually.

Getting Outdoors

Encompassing well over 2.1 million acres of wilderness, the opportunities for recreational fun in Sawtooth National Forest are endless. Sawtooth National Forest boasts a variety of terrains ranging from steppe prairie to forests to alpine tundras. Over a thousand miles of multi-use trails and forest roads wind and weave through the forests, some following the contours of rivers and valleys, others ascending to reach summits of mighty peaks contained within the park. Hike, horseback ride, or mountain bike. There are also two National Recreation Trails that meanders for hundreds of miles. Many hikers use these two trails as training grounds for more challenging hikes in the backcountry or for tackling a monumental trail like the Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest Trail, both of which stretch well over 2,000 miles.
