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 long-term partner like SIHA to support activities that enrich your experience in this beautiful place. Whatever your interest, you can look for local books at their sales outlets in Forest Service offices, stop by the Stanley Museum, or attend one of the Sawtooth Forum and Lecture Series presentations. SIHA's support for our public education and interpretive programs helps Forest visitors gain a better understanding and appreciation of this spectacular area.
