Description
While doing the Mine Hill Tour we took a little time to explore the beautiful White Knob Mountains and found this old cabin and the broken window with this beautiful view.
The White Knob Mountains are a high and dry range located between the Big Lost River Valley and Copper Basin in East-central Idaho. The range is quite compact being only about 30 miles long and 10 miles wide, yet it offers a great deal of amazing scenery and excellent peak bagging opportunities. There are several peaks topping 10,000 ft. with Shelly Mountain at 11,278 ft. being the range high point. Four peaks including Shelly rise to over 11,000 ft. and are in the state's 100 highest peaks.
Because they are situated between two of Idaho's most popular mountain ranges, namely the Lost Rivers and Pioneers, the White Knobs are often seen but seldom visited. The range's location does have its advantages- perhaps the best view to be had anywhere in Idaho awaits those who summit White Knob Peaks. On clear days no less than seven mountain ranges can be seen as well as the vast Snake River Plain to the South.
