The views from Donaldson Peak are spectacular. This is a great turn-around spot if you are underprepared for the full ridge climb to Mount Church. Be sure to bring helmets and gloves for the steep scree section leading up to the ridgeline. Donaldson Peak is the eighth highest peak in Idaho and clocks in at just over 12,000 ft.
