5의 로스트 리버 레인지가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The small town of Arco is located close to Craters of the Moon National Monument and the Lost River Valley. But what makes it extra special is the fact that it was the first community in the world to be run on nuclear energy starting in 1951. The most prominent and visible feature is Number Hill where – since 1902 – each class of Butte County High School traditionally paints its graduation year on the face of the hill. The town has a gas station, a lovely café, some spots to grab a bite and spend the night. A nearby attraction, besides Craters of the Moon, is the Experimental Breeder Reactor EBR-1 that started producing atomic energy in 1951 and is a historic site nowadays.

This trail is often used by climbers hiking up to climb "The Fins". This is a great area with loads of climbs ranging from 5.6 to 5.12 with the majority of routes going at the 5.10 range. If you are not into climbing, it is still a neat place to spectate others, enjoy the elevated views, and look at the rock formation.

Situated at 12,000 feet in the Lost River Range, Merriam Lake is a beautiful place to visit in Salmon-Challis National Forest. The area is home to mountain goats and bighorn sheep, which during mating season you may hear the thunder clash of them butting heads echoing through the valley.

The approach trail to Borah Peak, Idaho's highest mountain, is wonderfully scenic, although it's also unremittingly steep. It's well-trodden, so you shouldn't have too much difficulty following it up to where the fun begins on Chicken Out Ridge.

Also known as Mount Borah, Borah Peak is an enticing objective. At 3,859 meters (12,662 ft), it is the highest peak in Idaho. The final ascent to the summit is a bit of a scramble, calling for a head for heights and some experience of this kind of hiking. There are sections where the rocky crest of the superbly named Chicken Out Ridge is narrow.
