Pettit Lake to Redfish Lake (One Car) Need Help!

[Doobie]

Hello Everyone,

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm planning to hike the Sawtooths for my 30th birthday at the end of June. I'm expecting some snow and hoping the weather will cooperate. Unfortunately, my friend who was going to join me had to back out.

I need recommendations on how to manage this trip with just one car. The current plan is to camp at Pettit Lake Campground, leave the car at the trailhead, and then possibly hitchhike from Redfish Lake Lodge. However, my partner is understandably hesitant about hitchhiking.

Another idea is to see if there's a shuttle from Stanley to Pettit Lake and then from Redfish Lake back to Stanley.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've done that hitch before, it's pretty easy. I bet the Lodge would do a shuttle for you as well. They're friendly and helpful.
