Valley Creek Today,
February 14, 2010
It was a busy weekend. Valentines Day, Presidents Day, the Salmon River Snowmobile Club Fun Run and the Snowmobilers Ball, not to mention wonderful meals offered by local restaurants in celebration of Valentines Day and/or the Ball. Out on the trail west of town, it is clear that the snowmobilers had a wonderful time as you can see their crisscrossing, looping, free-spirit trails in the virgin snow where they played off-trail.
Natural ice sculptures can be found everywhere. Guests are enjoying the photo opportunities.
On the trail near where Stanley Lake Creek joins Valley Creek, these river otters were seen enjoying the day. They were as curious about passers-by as were the passers-by who observed them. Note that there are 5 otters in the group picture.
This is a great time of year to enjoy the winter season in Stanley. Next weekend is the Sawtooth Valley Winterfest with loads of fun including pond hockey competition and a "drag" (as in cross-dressing) race down Ace of Diamonds. The weekend of March 6 and 7 is the Sawtooth Ski Festival. Then on the weekend of march 13 and 14 is the Stanley Sled Dog Rendezvous.
Come stay with us and enjoy the entertaining events and nature's constant show.
