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!

borah-4.jpg Another angle to Sacajawea Peak and Mount Idaho - that steepness!

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.
