About North Fork Range
The North Fork Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in central Idaho. Spanning an area of over 500 square miles, the range is characterized by steep, granite-clad peaks, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes. The terrain is challenging, with heavily forested lower slopes giving way to exposed, rocky ridges and summits above the treeline. Geologically, the range is part of the Sawtooth mountain system, formed by ancient volcanic and tectonic activity.
