About Mount Bennett Hills

The Mount Bennett Hills are a small mountain range located in south-central Idaho, near the Snake River Plain. The range covers an area of roughly 400 square miles and features rugged, volcanic terrain, with peaks reaching elevations up to 7,000 feet. The landscape is characterized by steep canyons, rocky outcroppings, and sparse vegetation, typical of the high desert environment. The hills were formed by tectonic uplift and volcanic activity millions of years ago, leaving behind a diverse array of geological features and a challenging, yet rewarding, outdoor environment.
