About Cedar Hills

The Cedar Hills mountain range is a relatively small but rugged mountain system located in central Idaho. Characterized by steep, heavily forested slopes, the Cedar Hills rise abruptly from the surrounding high desert terrain, with several prominent peaks topping out above 8,000 feet. The range's geology is dominated by granite and metamorphic rock formations, creating a dramatic, craggy landscape. Numerous clear, cold streams and alpine lakes dot the valleys and basins between the peaks, providing habitat for a variety of wildlife including deer, elk, black bears, and mountain lions.
