When we discovered the hike, one to the peak of Mount Borah, we realized we were not prepared for a 7-9 hour climb and return of over 5,000 feet with some tricky, and mostly, tough aspects. Instead, rather than ignore this incredible place, we hiked some 3,500 feet up, making it a 5 hour day plus brunch. Fortunately, the brunch was the easy part. Hopefully, there will be another time when we can go the whole way... wimps.
Not the smoothest of surfaces encountered as Jen moves up an incredible mountain, Idaho's highest.
The backdrops continued to stun us.
Struggling in high winds as we reach one of the high spots.
The views throughout the climb were stunning.
Big mountains, big sky, big views.
An incredible experience.
Continuous struggle but enjoyable except for the scree on the way down.
Storm building across the way.
Captivating.
Later that evening, sunset from miles away in Challis of the mountains around Borah.
Returning from a peak closer to Challis.
Closing in on the peak.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
