Borah Peak Trail #4044
The well-marked trailhead is at the end of BLM Road #279 that exits Highway 93 about 21 miles from Mackay.
The first part of the trail goes through scattered timber. The trail is easy to moderate for about 2 miles, however the last mile has sections of hand-over-hand extreme climbing through bare rock. This challenging climb is highly popular and takes an average of 12 hours.
