    Tips

    Hiking

    Chicken Out Ridge is a narrow arête that leads to the summit of Idaho's highest point, Borah Peak. It is a challenging scramble and requires a decent head for heights. Experienced hikers who enjoy a bit of an adrenaline rush will revel in the ascent.

    If you are attempting the ascent to Borah Peak, stick to the crest and do not take the faint bypass path to the left, as hikers have been known to get into difficulty by doing this. Remember: crest is best!
