About Red Hills
The Red Hills are a remote and rugged mountain range located in the heart of central Idaho. This high-desert landscape is characterized by steep, rocky slopes covered in a patchwork of pine forests and vast open meadows. The terrain is challenging, with numerous jagged peaks and deep, winding canyons carved by glacier-fed streams. Wildlife is abundant, including elk, bighorn sheep, and a variety of birds of prey. The range experiences a continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude and adventure.
