Flytrip is a 2.7-mile out-and-back hike in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness, part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area within the Sawtooth National Forest. The trail climbs from about 7,500 feet to roughly 8,500 feet, a gain of about 1,000 feet, and is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is open year-round. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for a pack horse trip or a day on foot with a pack. The climb is steady, and the route works well as a short outing in the wilderness. The nearest neighbors are the Middle Fork Boise River and the Ten Lake Basin Trail, both about 1.5 miles away. For an overnight base, Alturas Lake Inlet and Alturas Inlet Campground sit about 7 miles off.
