The Climb

Most of this climb is Class 1. From 2800E, head east on the remnants of an old 2-track road that follows the north side of a fence row. Cross a cattle fence by the road and another about halfway up, where the old road is now much better. Continue east up the 2-track road to just northwest of the communication towers on the summit. Cross to the south side of the cattle fence and bushwhack southeast through an easy mix of short grass and gapped sagebrush to reach the multiple communication towers.

The USGS benchmark is in a concrete poured block just past the first communication tower and is the high point of Hub Butte. There is no summit cairn. This peak can only be reached via 3100N and 2800E. All of the other east-west roads are blocked by private land (or just don’t exist anymore). It is okay to hike on the Twin Falls Military Reservation land near the summit. That land is currently used for cattle grazing and is not fenced or posted.
