Stretching forty miles from high peaks to chain lakes, the Silver Valley is a full-season mountain recreation paradise.
Winter embraces alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling.
Fishing, mountain biking and climbing, river rafting, canoeing and kayaking, golf, hiking, backpacking, and four-wheeling occupy outdoor recreation enthusiasts from spring to fall. Bow, rifle and muzzleloader hunting for deer and elk is naturally popular each fall. During the summer, both areas cater to mountain bikers and hikers. In addition, Silver Mountain is famous for its Summer Concert Series and Lookout Pass is one of many starting points for hikes and backpacking adventures involving mountain lakes, clean air and prevalent wildlife. It is also the staging area for the unique Route of The Hiawatha mountain bike trail.
