Helicopter Camping in Idaho

By Transition4, July 18, 2022.

We’re taking the Guppy (an Enstrom F28F Helicopter) up to Smiley Creek, Idaho for a bit of weekend camping. Smiley Creek is just about 40 miles NW of Hailey, Idaho, home to Sun Valley Ski Resort. On the flight in we cruise along the ridges of the Sawtooths and talk about what it’s like to fly a light helicopter like this in the high mountains.

Stick around to the end for some bonus footage of some of the Bush planes taking off from Smiley Creek (and a Cessna185 landing at Upper Loon Creek).
