Gem County highpoint

From Snowbank Mountain, you can see the Gem county highpoint (red flag). Just beyond the ridge with the flag is the Cascade Reservoir and you have an excellent view of that whole area from the county highpoint. While you could hike cross country to it, many take a 4 mile trail with 2200 feet of elevation gain to get to the top as the country side is very beautiful in the late spring. Read this trip report by Edward Earl who hiked from Snowbank Mtn to the highpoint of Gem county and back HERE. 6-27-04
