One of Idaho's most iconic peaks, often compared to the Matterhorn, will transfix you in a picture-perfect view from this campsite. On a clear night, its rosy glow is the only thing you will see just before darkness. As the night darkens further you'll be dazzled by the brightest stars against the darkest of dark skies you will ever experience. Then you'll fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the Lost River gliding by. In the early morning be on the lookout for the resident moose and her calf (Watch, but don't approach!!) or any of the many deer that ramble by. Then drop a fishing line into the river, just a few steps away, and catch yourself a trout or two for your breakfast. After breakfast, get out your binoculars, cameras, and maps (you did bring them, didn't you?) and choose your day's adventure, whether it be a challenging hike up a mountain trail, a leisurely stroll to a delightful waterfall, a 20-mile trip to world-famous Sun Valley via the stunning Trail Creek Summit, or exploring the largest designated wilderness in the lower 48 states. which is, literally, just on the other side of the fence! The road you enter the property from will also get you 20 miles deep into that wilderness along a broad river valley where you may see elk, moose, wolves, coyotes, foxes, beavers, deer, antelope, mountain goats, big horn sheep, black bears, and much more all thriving in natural abundance. Mountain lions are absent in this area, fortunately, but can be found in narrow, steep-sided canyons in other drainages nearby, if you dare.

Such a great experience! Lestia was incredibly welcoming, and we were blown away by the beauty of the region. Our camp spot by the river was peaceful and perfect for a night of sleeping under the stars.

Lestia is a nice host. If you’re more comfortable having utilities and want to be near a local it’s a nice alternative to boondocking.

Spectacular Mountain Views on River

Really amazing spot! The site we had offered lots of privacy and great views. Even with our small trailer (15 ft), I’m glad we took Lestia’s advice and came in via hwy 93. Hwy 75 will take you over Trail Creek Summit. We drove that road without our trailer to visit Ketchum and we thought it was doable with a trailer in a pinch, but probably not worth the stress. It has many single-lane blind-corners. Lestia was a great host and she has an amazing property that she is kind enough to share. Highly recommend!

Listia and her 4 legged pal's were wonderful as we camped on her lovely slice of paradise. Listia's warmth and knowledge of the area filled our days with adventure and love. Can't wait to return>
