STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

The Sawtooth Interpretive & Historical Association (SIHA) is holding its Sawtooth Summer Auction, an online auction benefiting the natural and cultural legacy of the Sawtooth and Salmon River country.

The auction runs until 5 p.m. Monday, June 30.

The auction features more than 40 unique items and experiences, from unforgettable mountain escapes and other getaways to handcrafted local goods.

Every bid supports SIHA’s mission to protect and advance the Sawtooth National Recreation Area’s rich history and ecosystems. Funded a half-century ago, the Association provides free educational programs, operates the Redfish Visitor Center & Gallery and preserves the local stories housed at the Stanley Museum.

“Our work connects people to this incredible landscape, through history, science, and storytelling,” said Lin Gray, the Executive Director of SIHA. “The Sawtooth Summer Auction is a fun and meaningful way for people who love the Sawtooths to give back.”
