Sawtooth Loop Questions
Hello all,
I am planning my first multi day solo trip in the Sawtooth Mts in Idaho and am planning on doing the 68 mile Sawtooth Loop. I live in Wisconsin and have done plenty of backpacking trips in this area but this would be my first out of state solo trip. So I have a couple questions:
\-Ive seen some posts about a fire a year or two ago that affected some parts of the trail, would the Sawtooth Loop still be impacted by closures during my trip (9/1-9/7 of 2026)?
\-How popular is the loop? Im cool with seeing people as long as they're generally quiet and I'm not dealing with day hikers with portable speakers lol
\-I see it's dispersed camping, but does not anyone have or know of downloadable maps with recommended itineraries or campsites?
\-Is it worth it to spend the night at the Grand Jean cabins the night before I start?
Overall, these are the immediate questions that jump out at me. Any tips or recommendations are greatly appreciated, thanks!
