Fall in love with the miracle of wild salmon this summer at the Sawtooth Salmon Festival on Saturday, August 25th! The festival will be held at the Stanley Interpretive and Historical Association from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Enjoy the prodigious mountains and sparkling waters of the Sawtooth valley with live music, fun activities, and a delicious wild salmon dinner.
Each summer, salmon and steelhead travel from the Pacific Ocean to the high elevation spawning habitat of central Idaho, 900 miles inland and nearly 7000 feet above sea-level. This difficult journey is incredibly special, because the salmon you will see in the Salmon River this summer have all been there before. It is their birthplace, imprinted in their memories from the time they left it as young smolts. How they do it is not fully understood, but somehow, adult salmon manage to find their way home each year.
