ALICE LAKE TRAIL VIA PETITE LAKE: BEST DAY HIKE IN THE SAWTOOTH MOUNTAINS NEAR STANLEY, IDAHO

Alice Lake is probably the most popular backpacking area in the Sawtooth Range of Idaho. While backpackers usually hike Alice Lake as a loop with Imogene and Toxaway Lakes, it can be a great 12-13 mile out and back day hike. While this trail can be long it only gains around 1800 feet in elevation. The lake itself is a fairly big alpine lake with multiple solitude outlets for swimming and fishing. Start early from Petite Lake as the campground can be very busy and hard to find a parking spot. Once you get out of the woods and start to gain altitude to Alice Lake, you quickly realize why this trail is so popular. Stanley is just 20-25 minutes north of the trailhead with Ketchum and Sun Valley to the south.
