Borah Peak

Gotta tag the state high point while I’m here right? If I ever want a taste of Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo range around the PNW, the Lost River Range is not terribly far. The peaks are bigger too!

Looking southeast to Leatherman Peaks and Mount Church


Looking south to Sacajawea Peak and Mount Idaho


Looking north to smaller but also cool looking peaks


Another angle to Sacajawea Peak and Mount Idaho - that steepness!


Even the unnamed peaks look giant and interesting


Notes

  • This was probably ~8 miles and ~5300 feet of vertical gain just shy of 4 hours.
  • Try to stay on Chicken Out Ridge proper which I didn’t do.
