Fourth of July weekend, we ditched the city lights to go enjoy some fresh mountain air!
The Sawtooth Valley is my second home. When I’m there, I am in the place I love…. with the people I love. I always feel at peace there. The cool thing about Idaho is…. most people just think of potatoes, few know of its hidden beauty.
That’s why I love it... Its easy to find solitude, and bliss. My dad literally calls the Sawtooth Valley “god‘s country”. He‘s not religious, but its just that epic. It’s simple and divine.
…..is nestled on the South Fork of the Payette river, complete with cascading hot waterfalls and plenty of natural pools.
Write your story here. (Optional)
It’s one of my favorite hot springs because you can literally stand in the freezing cold river and also be in a hot waterfall
like this one with my sister, Ellie Wallace, my best friend, Dalhton Grover, and homeboy, Nate Shapiro always remind me to fully embrace the “here and now” of this place
The mountains create the background for probably my favorite place on earth and one of the most stunning areas I have explored in the world
Who wouldn’t want to jump off this dock? SUPin around the lake with The Sawtooth Range keeping a close eye on us…..definitely our idea of bliss
this camp is a “secret spot” my family and I have been going to ever since I was little
and loving life……
Where’s your KAVU life going to take you next??
