Islands on Alice Lake
Horizontal orientation. Canvas prints are available with optional barnwood or hardwood floating frames hand-crafted by the photographer, making a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of art. Please see images for details.
The magnificent Sawtooth Mountains in central Idaho are popular for photography, as well as hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. The Alice-Toxaway Loop is one of the most popular hikes in the Stanley area, beginning at the Tin Cup Trailhead and passing Farley, Toxaway, Twin, and Alice Lakes along the way. I backpacked the loop the last week of July 2026, taking 2 nights and 3 days. My wanderings to photograph waterfalls, creeks, lakes, and wildflowers made the 19-mile hike into a little over 33 miles! I stayed my second night at Alice Lake and enjoyed a beautiful sunset there. I had circled the lake a few times earlier in the day looking for good vantage points to capture sunset photos, and these islands on the lake caught my attention. I went back out as the sun was descending and circled the lake once more, watching the lighting and the sun’s location more closely. The sun was still very bright even after disappearing behind the mountain, but when partially blocked and diffused by the tree branches and pine needles, it revealed beautiful lighting on the islands.
