Access
Read Rick’s trip report linked below to better understand the difficulty in reaching this peak. Here is what the Forest Service says about the access route: “The Challis Creek Lakes trail is 3.5 miles long. It begins at Junction with 40091 and ends at Challis Creek Lakes. The trail is known as a “jeep trail” and is open to all vehicles. This is a very steep, narrow and rocky trail. High-clearance vehicles are recommended.” I suggest checking with the Forest Service to get a current road status report before attempting to drive to Challis Lakes
