Access

Primary access is from ID-75 and Baker Creek Road/ FSR-162  [(A)(4) on Page 213]. Turn onto Baker Creek Road and follow it south for just over 3.0 miles. Just past the East Fork Campground, turn onto FSR-168/East Fork Baker Creek Road. Follow FSR-168 to the northwest side of Fox Peak and the trailhead for [signed] FST-143, which is 11.8 miles from ID-75. This road was in good condition in 2023 and suitable for high clearance vehicles. Alternatively, you can reach Peak 9120’s north ridge from Fox Peak.

North Ridge, Class 2

From the trailhead, hike FST-143 south along the base of Fox Peak to its junction with FST-142. Continue southwest on FST-142 until the trail reaches a point below the saddle between Peak 9210 and Point 9022. [Note that the trail is located higher than shown on the USGS and Forest Service maps. Instead of losing elevation south of the FST-143/142 junction, the trail maintains nearly the same elevation. Additionally, the trail numbers on the signs do not match the numbers on the map.] Climb to the saddle and then head up the peak’s broad north ridge, dodging the occasional deadfall.
