A beautiful springtime hike with expansive views when you reach the ridge and on the descent. The trail is used by motorcycles and is in very good shape. Steady long uphill followed by a steep descent to the middle fork of the Boise river. Cooler temperatures and some wind and rain on the ridge and descent. It was a Wednesday and didn’t see anybody else on the trail. Remnants of an old homestead about 2 miles in, with roses, lilacs and non-native trees planted by those hardy folks of yore.

Nice long hike along two different creeks, both still flowing pretty well in early June.

This was not a hike. We were in a RZR 1000 and had a great time. This was a fairly easy out and back ride from Edna Creek to Jackson Peek to Graham where you can splash in the North fork of the Boise river to cool off. We did have a few stops to eat and hydrate and I forgot to pause the track so the ride would have taken 4.5 hours approximately if we hadn’t stopped.

Great hike! Very limited parking. Maybe 4 cars max... Steep ups and downs for the first two-ish miles and little to no shade. Then it levels out for the most part and there is tons of shade with tall pine trees. Then, at Stackedrocks, you can climb and play if you like. My GPS clocked it at 7.4 miles.

Great hike. Pretty easy. Went in about 4 miles. There were a lot of stream crossings with the first three having a bridge.

Very remote! Saw 1 mountain lion and no people in middle 10 miles. Trail sketchy but a good hike.
