After travelling on a long windy road for more than 2 hours, we finally arrived in Stanley, which lies within the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
Kiki had fun sitting on a wooden fence
We stopped for lunch at Bridge St. Grill. The restaurant sits right beside a fast flowing river and offers great scenery.
Cute wooden bear statue outside the restaurant
Keep an eye on your kids!
Beautiful scenery
Stop! Private property
Checking out the icy water
After lunch, we went in search of Redfish Lake. Little did we know that we would be blown away by the view!
We are in Switzerland!
Kenneth decided to stay with us while the others went hiking. Owl, Kiki and I took a stroll on the beach.
You will never walk alone... ...
We then went to the Visitor Centre and learnt that Redfish Lake, named for the sockeye salmon, was formed by the action of glaciers. It is about 5 miles long, 1/2 mile wide, and over 300 feet deep.
Wow! Snow-capped mountains in Summer
Gimme a five! Kiki gave Dr Lau a High 5
Kiki & her beloved pacifier
After a while, we went back to the beach to meet the hikers.

I'm so glam!
Unwilling to return home so soon after the long drive to Stanley, we went on to the Redfish Lake Lodge. Boon Pin, Kenneth, Min Li and Xin Tian went kayaking, while Chin Wei and Shu Yunn shared a paddle boat.
Look at those nice deck chairs
With the great scenery, it would have been fabulous to stay overnight there!
