This scene (thanks for the photos) looks a lot like - and reminds me of - Alice Lake, one of the many such lakes we have encountered up in the Sawtooth Range. Our family and another hiked up from Petit Lake at lower elevation on the road south from Stanley and encountered Alice Lake after an hour or so. Just beautiful, pristine, snow on the sides in August - and quickly caught some trout to cook for lunch. We wandered the trails up in there and found two or three others in the area - all just as nice. We did not see one other soul on those trails - was back in 1980. Thanks again.
