Trip Report
Slightly smokey but beautiful day for climbing Idaho’s tallest peak. I have not been up Mt. Borah in many years even though it is 30 min from where I grew up. It was awesome getting back on top of this incredible summit and made me miss the Big Lost range with its rugged and stark beauty.
The climb was smooth and went well and only note is that the grade of trail is intense until you get scrambling. The run from summit to car had my quads more sore than they have been in ages and probably did some knee damage I will find in 15 years.
Overall the scrambling was fairly tame as I recall but being comfortable scrambling and dealing with loose rock is a must for all the Lost River Range peaks. Borah has the best trail by far and this made me want to make a video for each of the Idaho 12,000ft peaks as a mini series so stay tuned for that.
