Lemhi Range

The Lemhi Range is a rugged mountain range located in east-central Idaho, near the town of Salmon. The range extends for approximately 70 miles in a north-south direction, with the highest peaks reaching elevations over 11,000 feet. The terrain is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, deep canyons, and alpine meadows. Geologically, the Lemhi Range is part of the Salmon River Mountains and was formed by the Idaho Batholith, a large granite intrusion dating back millions of years. The range's remote location and challenging access make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a true wilderness experience.
