They drain/clean the pool every Tuesday and refill it with fresh hot water from the spring. The Hot Spring heated pool was very nice with a temperature of around 106. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, fishing in both there large, stocked pond and the Salmon River. Although we did not do any hiking, those that we talked to say the trails were good and most were a good workout. We can’t say enough good things about the staff at the Ranch, everyone was very friendly and helpful! The breakfast and dinners were all very nice with the bag lunch more than adequate. My wife & I stayed at the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch the last week of June, although we encountered a little rain no one day was a washout by any means and usually by 3 or 4 in the afternoon it was bright and sunny with wonderful scenic view of the Sawtooth Mountains. Several of the original power gauges can also still be found around the Ranch. The crews returned the following spring to complete construction, and the Idaho Rocky Mountain Club opened that summer as an invitation-only guest facility.A hydroelectric plant, whose log structure housing still stands at the willowed bend in the pond, generated power for the IRMC providing the first electricity in the Sawtooth Valley. Construction began with the snaking of logs up Williams and Gold Creek to the Big Meadow chosen as the Lodge site. A crew of 60 men, among them a blacksmith and stonemason, camped on the Ranch property in the fall of 1929 until they were forced to leave by severe winter weather. It was acquired in 1929 by New York Frigidaire executive Winston Paul, who began building the Idaho Rocky Mountain Club. The Sawtooth Mountains are an outdoor enthusiast’s wonderland, with miles of hiking and biking trails, scenic western horseback riding, and countless opportunities for fishing, rafting and exploring the pristine Salmon River.The Ranch property originally was part of Stanley Basin pioneer Dave Williams’ homestead. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, and the view from the front porch –well, you just have to experience that for yourself.This 50-person guest ranch is an ideal homebase to enjoy one of America’s most majestic natural treasures, - The Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
