I've lost count how many times I've hiked this trail from Council Springs. It's a Great training hike done in a 1/2 day or so. From the summit, a lesser used trail on the SW ridgeline gives you a scenic shortcut back to the main trail.

Years First Climb
Trying to get in shape for the climbing season ahead I drove up the Highland Summit on Highway 21 and climbed up to the top of Lucky Peak and back. It was a nice hike in the hot sun that day, but made it to the top with the three dogs and back down.

Council Springs
Long 5.5 miles up and 5.5 back down. I totally enjoyed it and hung out with the Bird Branding project people for a while. They were setting traps for Owls at night and luring Hawks in by day. Also were branding the Songbirds
Climbed solo today. Was nice and sunny and I got burned a bit. There was still a lot of snow on the upper section. This was my 2nd time up of probably many more to come. I will have to trie the Boise Front Range Traverse next.

nice winter hike
a little snow at the top but otherwise quick hiking from Warm Springs Road
I've been to the top of the countless times, usually on a bike. It's a great early season climb and provides great views of the valley and interior mountains.
