About White Cloud Peaks

The White Cloud Peaks are a rugged mountain range in central Idaho, known for their dramatic granite spires and alpine lakes. The range covers over 150 square miles and features glacially-carved valleys, treeless expanses of granite, and numerous 10,000+ ft peaks. Terrain varies from gentle alpine meadows to steep, technical rock climbing routes. The area has a short but intense summer season with cool temperatures and high precipitation, transitioning to snowy, windy winters.
