Every Idahoan knows the go-to lakes for spending a
summer day. Redfish lake. Payette Lake. Coeur d’Alene Lake. But if
you’re looking for something a little less populated, be sure to check
out Imogene Lake. Imogene is one of the most stunning lakes in the
Sawtooths and is sure to become one of your new favorite summer spots.
Imogene is an alpine lake, located in the Sawtooth mountains just about 15 miles southwest of Stanley, Idaho.
Imogene is not nearly as crowded as nearby Alice Lake, and the surrounding scenery will blow you away.
You can get to the lake by hiking up a beautiful and scenic 9 mile trail.
The trail rises about 1,000 feet
in elevation, so it can be quite strenuous...but it also offers some
beautiful sights of waterfalls and streams like this one.
The lake itself is well worth the hike, with expansive crystal clear waters.
There are plenty of little nooks
to explore on or off the trails around the lake. It's not hard to find
solitude at Imogene or any of the surrounding lakes nearby.
At an elevation of 10,716 feet, the nearby Mount Cramer is definitely a sight to be experienced.
Imogene Lake is just downright gorgeous. See for yourself - you definitely won't regret making the trip.

Not that we mind! The fewer people who know about our slice of paradise, the better, right? Regardless, when a good song about Idaho comes on the radio or personal playlist, we can't help but wax a little nostalgic. Today, we've been able to dig up 15 tunes that capture the spirit of Idaho in their own unique way. Have a listen! 1. "Idaho" - Reckless Kelly (2013) "Because he's an Idaho cowboy/no Tennessee plow-boy / He's wild as the Rockies he rides." This popular alternative country group made every heart melt with this song. It sure does capture the spirit of the mountain-loving Idahoan, doesn't it? 2. "Idaho" - Feeder (2012) "I may find a better view, find a better... view / Idaho." Feeder is a British (Welsh) rock band that has bee...
Casa Loma (Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft) above sea level, 66 meters (217 ft) above Lake Ontario. Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies, and Casa Loma can be rented in the evenings after the museum closes to the public. History In 1903, financier Henry Pellatt purchased 25 lots from developers Kertland and Rolf. Pellatt commissioned architect E. J.
