The first 3 miles of Mount Ida Trail are an easy-to-follow and non-technical consistent hike up to the ridgeline. The last 2 miles to the summit are a tundra trail of gray granite and quartz rock, and at this point, the trail can be a little difficult to find, but the dirt on the rocks makes it more detectable. This trail is not considered dangerous, but it can be very exposed to the sun, wind, cold temperatures, lightning, and unpredictable weather changes, so it is recommended to have sun protection and trekking boots, and also having trekking poles can be helpful for the last part. During summer, the thunderstorms in the afternoon can be quite dangerous, make sure to check the weather before hiking up.
