While we were staying near Mountain Home, Idaho, we took a day trip up Highway 75 that goes through the Sun Valley resort area. We drove several miles past Sun Valley into the mountains. We found these beautiful views, some wildflowers blooming and lots of beautiful vistas from the lookout in Sawtooth National Forest.

This is the road up over the pass. There are plenty of pullouts where you can get some great photos.

Looking across at the Sawtooth Mountain Range, this valley has plenty of creeks and rivers where the fishing is great.

At the foot of this mountain pass was a pretty valley where there was an airport.  Across from the airport was Smiley Creek Lodge with a restaurant, RV park and store. We split a hamburger. The hamburger was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. So if you make it to this part of Idaho, be sure to stop in and try it out.
