Common Birds of the SNRA

Birds are everywhere! There are over 9,000 species of birds that inhabit almost every inch of our planet. Birds are diverse in their plumage, habitat, migration patterns, feeding behavior, diet and nesting. It’s these differences that make them fascinating to watch!

Hell Roaring Lake

My heart is full from my first hike of the season. Hell Roaring Lake trail has an elevation gain of only 600′ in five miles. As a result, it’s usually one of the first snow-free accessible trails to an alpine lake in the Sawtooth Mountains and one of my first go-to hikes of the season.
