Jackson Peak (Day Hike) - Intermediate level and casual pace

Come join me this Sunday for a summer hike up Jackson Peak. I did this in spring and very much enjoyed the views. Hopefully, we will make it to the fire outlook at the top - only a handful remaining in Idaho.
About a 30 minute drive past Idaho City (~2 hour drive). Contact me for additional details.

For car pooling we can park at the Black Cliffs parking lot (43.53866° N, 116.09250° W) just East of Boise on Highway 21. If we leave by 7:00 we should be back at cars by about 7-8 PM conservatively.

This Jackson Peak, one of two Boise Mountains summits with this name, is located in the northeast corner of the range. Its summit has one of the biggest fire lookout setup in Idaho.

I am not a guide but a facilitator. Please come prepared to contribute to the objective. I put a significant amount of time planning to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants. By signing up, you agree to be responsible for your own safety. Please inform the organizer as soon as possible with any cancellations but no later than 7 pm the night before the meet up. Last minute sign ups welcomed. No shows/no communication is unfair to others who are on the waitlist and makes planning difficult for the organizer. Please review our no-show policy. If you are sick, please stay home and hike with us another time. I reserve the right to take photos and videos of group members in order to promote the the group.
