About East Hills

The East Hills are a small but rugged mountain range located in central Idaho. Formed by ancient volcanic activity, the range features steep, rocky slopes and deep canyons carved by glacial erosion. Elevations in the East Hills generally range from around 5,000 feet at the base to over 8,500 feet at the highest peaks. The landscape is dominated by granite and basalt formations, with sparse vegetation consisting mainly of hardy shrubs and grasses adapted to the dry, exposed conditions.
