Yeah, it’s pretty much got everything for the perfect summer vacation—and it’s a quick non-stop flight from SFO or LAX. Reach jaw-dropping views on hikes in the Sawtooth Mountains—home to some of the best alpine granite in the country, with 10,000-foot peaks and pristine alpine lakes.

Wildlife sightings are virtually guaranteed! There are also bike trails—400 miles of them—including gravity trails on Bald Mountain, the impressive landmark that dominates the views from town. Rather cool off?
