Boardman Peak

Boardman Peak is a mountain summit in the Soldier Mountains with an elevation around 9,475 feet, located within Sawtooth National Forest. The peak displays rocky outcrops and retains snow on its northern slopes through much of the year.

The peak was named during early exploration of Idaho's Soldier Mountains and served as a reference point for local geographical mapping. The name reflects the period when surveyors were documenting the region's terrain.

Local mountaineering groups maintain detailed records of climbing attempts on Boardman Peak, contributing to Idaho's mountain climbing documentation.

Access to the summit follows Chimney Creek Road, with hiking trails starting from the Ear Creek Corrals registration point. Visitors should be prepared for rocky terrain and weather conditions typical of high-elevation areas.

The northern slopes drain into Boardman Creek while the southern face channels water through Salt Log and Bremner Creeks. This watershed division creates distinct drainage patterns on each side of the mountain.
