About Hoodoo Mountains

The Hoodoo Mountains are a small, isolated mountain range located in central Idaho, near the town of Challis. This range is characterized by rugged, volcanic peaks and deep, narrow canyons carved by glaciers. The terrain is steep and rocky, with sparse vegetation at higher elevations. Granite and rhyolite are the predominant rock types, leading to dramatic, jagged summits and unique geologic formations. The range sits at the intersection of the northern Rocky Mountains and the Snake River Plain, creating a diverse ecosystem with both alpine and sagebrush-steppe habitats.
