The Smoky Mountains are part of the Rocky Mountains and located on the west side of the Wood River Valley near Sun Valley, Idaho, in the Western United States.

[1] The highest point in the range is Saviers Peak at 10,441 ft (3,182 m).

The Smoky Mountains are located within the watersheds of the Big Wood, Salmon, and Boise Rivers.

The mountains are most easily accessed from Idaho State Highway 75, although many unimproved and improved dirt roads, including National Forest road 227, enter and cross the mountains.

In 2007 the Castle Rock Fire burned 48,000 acres (19,000 ha) of the Smoky Mountains near Ketchum.
