Donaldson Peak, Mountain summit in Lost River Range, Idaho, United States
Donaldson Peak rises to an elevation of 12,023 feet, making it the eighth highest peak in Idaho with steep cliffs and talus slopes.
The mountain received its name from Charles R. Donaldson, who served as Chief Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court from 1919 to 1987.
The mountain forms part of the Idaho 12ers, a group of nine peaks above 12,000 feet that attract mountaineers from across the country.
Climbers access the summit through Jones Creek or North Fork Jones Creek, with the latter route offering more stable terrain for ascent.
The peak features two distinct climbing routes from its base pond, one following steep talus piles and another traversing exposed mountain ledges.
