Yellow Peak is one of top peaks in the Lemhi Range. Access is good and the neighboring peaks are worth climbing. I recommend backpacking into this area and spending two or three nights exploring the high Lemhi Range. USGS Yellow Peak
Yellow Peak as viewed from Junction Peak.Yellow Peak is a main crest summit in the central section of Lemhi Range. It is the 7th-highest 10er in Idaho. On my 6/25/94 visit, I made a note that the yellowish rock is not exotic, just brown iron-stained quartzite. Re-erected the wooden target signal. The summit has a USGS benchmark (1956) that was probably set by J. Clark. View north on 6/15/07. Rick Baugher PhotoThe Northeast Face of Yellow Peak as viewed from the north. Dave Pahlas Photo
