This snowshoe is quite strenuous and we will probably need every bit of winter sunlight to gain the summit and return to our cars before dark. We will be sticking to the main summer trail for the first 2/3 of the hike, but will probably need to use our off trail route finding skills to reach the summit of Star Peak.

This trail has been called the steepest trail in Idaho. Although the hike leader has found a steeper one, it is still formidable. The views are fabulous almost the whole way and the sense of group exhilaration upon reaching the summit is a memorable experience. Be prepared for a full day and ready for any conditions. Snowshoes are recommended, but some crazies ski it every year. Round Trip, 7 miles. Elevation gain, 4,000 feet ±. Contact: Jim/Sandii Mellen jimnsandii@gmail.com (208) 265-5621 |

This trip is for adventurous people. Although the trail suffered numerous blow-downs in October, 2009, the trees have all been cut. There are a few places where the root masses made craters in the trails but it is passable. Since the road is usually snowed-in, the trip length will be extended by 2.5 miles each way. Equipment can include snowshoes, Telemark skis, snowboards, or AT gear. Be prepared for conditions ranging from hot and sunny to a full-on blizzard. But above all, be prepared to have a fabulous adventure! Round trip, 12 miles. Elevation gain, 3700 feet. Contact: Jim/Sandii Mellen jimnsandii@gmail.com (208) 265-5621 |
