#12 Homestead Trail
Two miles and a 1000' climb takes you into the heart of this wildlife area. This aggressive route can be done as an out and back or a link to the other trails that provide a variety of loop opportunities. Please respect seasonal closures and stay only on the marked trails.
#13 Cobb Trail
Often combined with other trails for a loop, the route takes you near old homesteads and springs. Please stay on the marked trail and avoid ending the route through the private pastures.
#11 Highland Valley Trail
This is a fine route that follows an old road bed. While strenuous, it is one of the easier routes into this wildlife area. Please don't park in front of the gate. A small area is provided a few hundred yards before the gate along the road.
Lucky Peak Complex
Lucky Peak Trail #8, SHornet Trail #9, Shaw
Mtn Road E and East Highland Valley Road F
combine to offer the most intense routes on
the Front. While vehicles can access these
routes they also provide great views and a
real work out for the intrepid. In the fall,
the climb to Lucky Peak will provide the
opportunity to learn about the Idaho Bird
Observatory, a research project involving
the raptor and song bird migration that
occurs along the Boise Ridge.
