My friends want to meet up and do 7 devils hike. From preliminary reading, it seems a 2 or 3 day hike around the "7 devil" peaks.
How strenuous is it? Any tips of what to pack? Etc. |

My friends want to meet up and do 7 devils hike. From preliminary reading, it seems a 2 or 3 day hike around the "7 devil" peaks. How strenuous is it? Any tips of what to pack? Etc. I hiked there as a boy scout, so my recollection is almost 20 years old. The hike in from the top parking lot trail head wasn't bad. We hiked in to Hibb's Cow camp on the first day. From there we spent 5 days +/-, day hiking out to the various lakes and peaks. There are a plethora of lakes, peaks, and trails that zig-zag through the area and it would be easy to craft a route that hits everything you want. The hiking was no better or worse than any other Idaho Wilderness area, to my recollection. I enjoyed it and it's been on my long list of places to get back to. EDIT: After our week of backpacking, we went up the Salmon River a few miles to a sandbar and washed/swam the stink and funk off. We then had a great lunch at the "Cattlemen's" restaurant (unsure if it's still open, it always looks closed when i drive through Riggins). |
