Location
Stanley has an ideal situation within the Rockies. It is surrounded by the
White Cloud, the Boulder and Sawtooth Mountain Ranges, and many of the
spectacular peaks are over 10,000 feet. Three national forests; Boise,
Challis and Sawtooth encompass the town. Additionally the Sawtooth
Wilderness, and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area provide outdoor
recreational opportunities close by. Stanley lies on the upper Salmon
River in a wide-open part of the valley known as the Stanley Basin.
 It
is about 130 miles east of Boise, the capital of Idaho.
