Summit

Paradise Point

Idaho

About

Paradise Point is a summit in Idaho, about 4 miles from the town of Viola. It sits within a cluster of trails, with the Wagon Trail passing just 0.2 miles away. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from about June through September. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F with only a few wet days. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The surrounding area offers both hiking and winter skiing. Wagon Trail is the closest route. The Velo cross-country ski trail is about a mile off, and the Highland Loop Trail and Penstemon Path are each about 1.3 miles away.
