In 1832 Captain Benjamin Bonneville called Southwest Idaho, "the most enchanting land in the far West, presenting the mingled grandeur and beauty of mountain and plain, of bright running streams and vast grassy meadows waving in the breeze."
Cascade, located in the upper portion of this section of Idaho, still offers you the bright running streams and vast grassy meadows noted by Bonneville. Hovering at 5,000 feet and lying at the southern of Long Valley, one of the loveliest alpine recreation areas imaginable, Cascade is the ideal location for an RV resort community.
Come and enjoy the splendid beauty of Cascade, Idaho and all the surrounding areas for Tent and RV camping.
Saturday of Memorial Day weekend marking the open day of fishing season on rivers and streams throughout the state, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game expects fishing to be good but urges anglers to be cautious of high water levels.
“Flows in many streams are high, but many of them are fishable if caution is used,” said Robert Hand, fisheries biologist with IDFG in Lewiston. “Anglers that wade or use a watercraft are encouraged to wear a life jacket, or have it easy accessible.”
IDFG urges anglers to review the fishing regulations before casting a line. Regulations are free and available at all license vendors and Fish and Game offices
Idaho has over 19,000 miles of trails available for hiking, ranging from remote wilderness trails to paved paths located on old railroad right-of-ways. Most of Idaho's single-track trails are located on federal lands. For further information and trail maps, please contact the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
For detailed information about the more popular hikes in Idaho, check your local bookstore for trail guidebooks. For a partial listing of trail guidebooks on Idaho, click here.
The trail passes through some of Idaho's most spectacular country. Elevations vary from 1,900 feet at the bridge crossing on the Selway River to numerous high-mountain passes ranging from 7,000 to 9,200 feet. The route traverses a variety of terrain including sagebrush desert, flower-filled alpine meadows, dense cedar forests, six major river canyons, and passes by numerous crystal-clear mountain takes. Many unique geological formations, such as caves and hot springs, can also be seen from the trail. Along the way you will find Idaho as it was 100 years ago. Abandoned homesteads and cabins, old mines, logging camps and a restored, old-time ranger station are many of the interesting sites along the route. The trail also crosses two national historic trails, the Oregon Trail on the Snake River plain and the Lewis and Clark Trail along the Clearwater-Lochsa divide. The Centennial Trail primarily crosses public land, but there are small segments of private land along the way. Permission to cross or camp on private land must be obtained from the land owner.
Idaho offers some of the most diverse hunting and fishing opportunities in the world. We can show you some of the best places for sport hunting in the State of Idaho, or for that matter, in the world!. No other state in the lower 48 has as much big game hunting variety and quality. Idaho is sparsely populated with huge areas of forests, canyon lands, and mountain wildernesses. Seasons generally run from 20-65 days. Hunter congestion remains rare.
Idaho's elk herds are renowned. An Idaho elk hunt offers the opportunity to experience real nature and wilderness, spend time with family or friends, and harvest a nice animal. The state's percentage of older bulls presents a unique trophy hunting opportunity in the West.
Whitetail deer populations also have grown. Their distribution, concentrated forested areas of Southwestern Idaho, has expanded in recent years. Mule deer populations are rebounding from years of drought and the severe winter of 1992. Mountain lion populations are extremely strong. Record book cougars have been taken recently. Moose hunting is on the rise. Bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and antelope hunts are in high demand. Idaho continues to offer outstanding black bear hunting in fall and spring.
Idaho is home to many fine ski areas. Sun Valley was one of the first ski areas in the west and is still one of the premiere areas in the United States (if not the world). Idaho’s legacy of skiing started in 1936 with the opening of Sun Valley on December 21st. It continues to this day, having been through many ups and downs. Skiing has appeared to have taken a bit of a dip in popularity in the past 20 years or so. Rising costs and competing interested have kept skier visits from increasing at most ski areas.
Bogus Basin near Boise acted on the lower skier visits this past year by offering season passes for $199. This incredible (for 1998) price resulted in 25,000 season passes being sold. At this price a person only has to ski 7 days to have paid for their pass. A pretty easy thing to do, even if it was a little crowded. I bought my first season pass in 10 years figuring I could ski 7 days without too much problem. So far the crowds have not been unbearable.
Idaho is home to many ski areas:
Just to name a few!
Cross Country skiing in Idaho is also a popular winter time activity. With the amount of public forests and lands there are literally thousands of places to ski. Unlike downhill skiing, you can cross country almost any where. In Idaho that relates to many hundreds of miles, if not thousands!
Gliding across a high mountain meadow with just the whoosh of your skis breaking the stillness of the day is a dream come true for many Nordic skiers. Others enjoy the hard work of climbing the mountains and telemarking down. What ever your choice is there is lots of choices in Idaho.
If you are into the 'gravity' side of cross country skiing, I am sure any of the downhill ski areas would be happy to sell a ticket. That way you can maximize your telemark turn practice. A few of the ski areas such as Bogus Basin and Sun Valley have Nordic skiing areas. These areas have established trails that are well maintained at all times.
Canoes and Kayaks and White Water enthusiasts will find that the Cascade area offers the finest in all categories. Enjoy the relaxing water of Lake Cascade and its breathtaking scenery, or the excitement of Kayaking and Rafting on the Payette River.
Cascade area offers it all.
Shuttle Service is available to and from most all adventures and private instruction also available.
