Moolack Mountain

Moolack Mountain is a summit in the Sawtooth Range that rises to 10,330 feet with a prominence of 810 feet in the Sawtooth Wilderness. The peak sits within Idaho's Sawtooth National Recreation Area in the state's central region.

The name comes from the Chinook language referring to elk that have roamed the wilderness since ancient times. Climbers and hikers began exploring the region more systematically during the 20th century.

The mountain stands as part of the Sawtooth Range, providing opportunities for climbers and hikers to experience Idaho's alpine environment through various climbing routes.

Access begins from ID-21 near the Grandjean area, and visiting is most feasible from May through October when weather conditions are favourable. Prepare for alpine conditions and unpredictable mountain weather when planning a visit to this high elevation destination.

The northern slopes hold the largest permanent snowfields found anywhere in the Sawtooth Range. These snow patches remain throughout the year and create a striking visual contrast on the upper mountainside.
