Thompson Peak is the tallest peak in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Idaho is definitely one of the most underrated states in the US and this range goes to show that Idaho is definitely more than potatoes!
I appreciate this. Redfish was a destination for our family for several years in the early '70's. Our family did many backpacking trips in the Sawtooths and Whiteclouds. I also went with Boy Scouts. It was good to see the area from the vantage point you attained. When I was in high school I got permission from my parents to take a solo overnight hike up to Bench Lakes, which you no doubt went by on your trip. I had a terrible night in a plastic tube tent being eaten alive by mosquitos.
I just tried to summit today from Redfish. About 2 miles in, the trail was covered in knee to waist high deep snow. I trekked on anyways until the last switchback before reaching the lake. The snow was incredibly deep and scary, had to turn around and take my time to stay safe. Will definitely come back another time in late summer!

I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness :)
Great video Matthew and your hike looked like lots of fun.
How many people did you run into on this trail? My goal is to get to that beautiful lake at the base of Thompson!
How did I find a video on my recommended released 18 mins ago?
How can I get to the lake ?
What lake is that below the summit? About 12 minutes into the video? Thanks for sharing!
