サーモンリバー山脈周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

The Hanson Lakes are a series of three alpine lakes deep in the Sawtooth Mountains. Upper Hanson Lake sits highest in a large bowl just a short distance from Middle Hanson, which is is the largest of the three lakes, and Lower Hanson Lakes. All three lakes drain into a stream that goes over Bridal Veil Falls down into Stanley Lake Creek.

Lady Face Falls pour through a narrow notch in a rock ridge into a deep, blue pool. In comparison to the nearby Bridal Veil Falls, Lady Face Falls are lesser-known, but no less striking. Although you get fantastic photos from the base of them, you can scramble to the top of the falls, but be careful! The ground is sloped and covered with loose sand and gravel on top of rock.

Bridal Veil Falls is a spectacular waterfall fed by the Hanson Lakes. These wide, tall falls are a popular day hiking spot from Stanley Lake. A short trail takes you up to a great overlook, which is a nice spot to relax, take amazing photographs, and cool off in the mist from the falls.

Surrounded by Sawtooth Range mountain peaks, the Iron Creek-Stanley Lake trail is an excellent choice. There are two picturesque waterfalls along the trail, and access to the scenic Hanson Lakes.

Stanley Lake is a quiet and serene place with a magnificent backdrop of the Sawtooth Mountains. Visitors enjoy kayaking, camping, and fishing. This is a great spot for sunset photography.
