Gawkers are out in force, and so are climbers, attracted by the sturdy granite and the vast selection of more than 1,000 rocks. The peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains trace the jagged edge of a timber saw into Idaho's high-altitude skyline. The Sawtooth Fish Hatchery, south of Stanley, is working to bring the sockeye back and is open to visitors. No volcano here. Visitors drive the 7-mile loop around the monument, hopping out to explore cavelike underground lava tubes where ice can persist till July.
Natural skylights illuminate some tubes, but rangers recommend flashlights.
