Adrian and I went to Stanley, Idaho for July 5-8 and it was a nice getaway and very affordable. Camping is $11.00 in the area. You could find a hotel for $85 per night. You can rent a canoe or kayak for about $10. A mountain bike would be $25 for the whole day. You can fish, relax, swim in the lake. You could take an easy or difficult white water rafting trip for about $80. There's rock climbing - the literature mentioned that different projects are available. Oh, and there's a mining ghost town named "Custer" about 15 miles away with a really old cemetery in "Bonanza" on the way to Custer. There are some hot springs, too, that are free.
There is also a branch there if you want to go for the weekend and they have two church meetings on Sunday - in the morning and in the evening for those who have to miss one or the other. They have a lot of visitors in the summer. They meet in a log cabin looking chapel.
The drive is about 6 hours. Gas is expensive in Stanley, so fill up before you get into that area.
