Join us for this year's annual Idaho Outdoor Association Campout at Stanley. The main attraction will be a group hike on the scenic Fish Hook Creek Trail, which features great views of the northern Sawtooth Mountains.

Our core group will be at the Triangle C Cabins in Stanley. This is where you can find us to connect with the group. Meet us on the grounds of the Triangle C on Saturday evening for refreshments. If you want to do the hike, meet us at the Triangle C Cabins on Sunday at noon, or at the Redfish Lake Trailhead at 12:20. Participants will need to provide their own food and lodging.

The Triangle C Cabins will book up quickly, so make reservations ASAP. Of course there is other lodging in Stanley and many nearby places to camp. If you have any other questions, email sandy@idahooutdoorassn.org.
