The southernmost Twelver in the Lost River Range is home to the unbelievably steep scree-filled “Super Gully.” This hike may be short, but it is incredibly mentally and physically exhausting. A helmet is a must. Lost River Peak is becoming increasingly popular to hike in the late spring to allow for walking on snow instead of scree. If you climb during the early season, be aware of avalanche conditions.
