Share your favorite photo from the Sawtooths, White Clouds as we celebrate 50 years

By Chadd Cripe
The wilderness around Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountain range, the state’s best-known mountains, is part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The views of its many 10,000-plus-foot peaks are spectacular no matter how a visitor arrives in the valley. This photo was taken by former Statesman staff photographer Chris Butler in 2006.
