Welcome to the Sawtooth Interpretive and Historical Association. Folks who know us call us SIHA (SEE-hah)! We are a non-profit, member-based organization working in cooperation with the Sawtooth and Salmon-Challis National Forests.
We are working to save and tell the stories of this grand environment…
- some stories are as old as the mountains
- some swim past in the river
- some are from the pioneers
- some are a way to protect the future
The Forest Service is grateful to have a partner like SIHA to support the activities vital to your experience in this beautiful place. When you visit the area, stop at the Stanley Museum located at the historic Valley Creek Ranger Station; take the walking tour of Stanley; attend one of the Sawtooth Forum and Lecture Series presentations; browse the books at any of the outlets; or ask a SIHA volunteer about the stunning landscape.
