THE MOUNTAINS FROM HELL?

With names like Mt. Baal, The Ogre, and Goblin, you might guess that the Idaho mountains known as the Seven Devils are rough going — and you’d be right. Most of the peaks in the range sport intimidating names that bring Dante’s “Inferno” to mind and make you wonder exactly what haunts the region. It doesn’t help that the mountain range — set in the central part of the state, close to the Oregon border — is some of the toughest territory in the Pacific Northwest. They also comprise some of the prettiest territory, because that’s usually how these things work. Spectacular views of Hells Canyon, the Snake River, and western Idaho will blow adventurers’ minds. So will the bighorn sheep, deer, black bears, and mountain lions native to the area. Thick with dense pine forests and dotted with lakes, the Seven Devils range is unmatched in its splendor and diversity. Many fishermen hike into the mountains to experience the excellent trout fishing in the area’s alpine lakes.

A-camping we will go! A-camping we will go! This summer, go beyond hot dogs and try out this scout special. You’ll be more than prepared for your woodland adventures after this hot and simple meal. CAMPFIRE DINNER For this reason, it’s a badge of honor among those who love the outdoors. Desolate and lonely, you’d be lucky to run into more than a handful of people on the whole trek, and many folks don’t meet another soul for days. If you do, it will likely be at landmarks like the Dry Diggins fire lookout or on one of the many summits. If you’re trying to escape the crowds at more popular hiking locations, this is the place to go. Come to think of it, if you’re trying to escape anything — from angry creditors to mafia loan sharks — you should load up your pack and head for these hills. This is a trip best suited to experienced backpackers. Backpackers on the Seven Devils Loop, the most popular trail in the region, face a 27-mile hike best spread out over three to five days due to the massive elevation changes, the result of many ridges summited and descended. With water sources few and far between, and help much farther away than that, the Seven Devils range is not for the faint of heart or the inexperienced.
