Sawtooth Association – Preserving the past. Protecting the future.

Welcome to the Sawtooth Interpretive & Historical Association (SIHA)

SIHA was founded in 1972 as the first – and only – cooperating interpretive association for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. We are a nonprofit, member-based organization working in cooperation with the Sawtooth, Salmon-Challis and Caribou-Targhee National Forests. We work in partnership with the US Forest Service to provide interpretive and educational programs throughout the region.

We are in the process of completing our updated website!
Please let us know if you are experiencing difficulty finding what you are looking for.
Thank you for your patience!
