Clearwater Mountains

The Clearwater Mountains are a rugged and remote mountain range located in central Idaho. Spanning an area of over 3,000 square miles, the range is characterized by steep, forested slopes, deep canyons, and numerous alpine lakes and glaciers. The terrain is generally steep and challenging, with many peaks rising over 8,000 feet in elevation. The range is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including elk, deer, black bears, and a variety of bird species. The Clearwater National Forest, which encompasses much of the range, offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, including hiking, backpacking, and camping.
