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.

Remember when you were a kid and you were told that it wasn’t nice to stereotype people? So why would you stereotype a state? There are more than a few outrageous rumors floating around about Idaho and the people who live here. We collected nine of the most famous ones so that they can finally be put to rest. These stereotypes are just that—stereotypes. By no means do they reflect our entire state, so maybe think twice when you catch yourself giving into one! 1. All Idahoans are either potato farmers... Indeed, potatoes are one of our state's most important crops when it comes to the agricultural industry. In fact, more than 320,000 acres of land are used to grow potatoes every year. But no, we don't ALL work on potato farms. That would just be ridiculous. 2. ...or rednecks. Sure, Idaho is a red state but that doesn't make everyone who lives here a redneck. You MIGHT come across some Bud Light lovin...
With nearly 130 soakable hot springs (the most soakable hot springs of any state in the country), there are dozens of destinations to visit. However, places like Lava Hot Springs , Goldbug Hot Springs , and Kirkham Hot Springs can draw in quite a crowd. That’s why I love Skillern Hot Springs. This is a lesser-known, almost top-secret spring that is worth visiting. However, you’ll want to put on your hiking shoes because it’s not an easy journey to get here. Skillern Hot Springs is tucked away in the Sawtooth National Forest. Some of the towns closest to this unique destination include Fairfield to the south and Ketchum to the east. You’ll find the trailhead and parking area for this natural spring at Canyon Transfer Camp. To visit this natural spring, plan a full-day adventure. Grab your hiking boots , swimsuit, and lots of water because you’ll have a six-mile journey ahead of you. The main trail splits into upper and lower trails. During the late...
