Pickles Butte is the highest point in Canyon County. Consequently, this peak is on a lot of peakbaggers’ lists. There are exceptional views of the Owyhee Mountains from the summit. The butte is located southwest of Nampa on land owned by the county. The county landfill is located on the butte’s North Slopes. A paved road leads to the landfill and a rough 4WD road leads the remaining distance to the summit. Use Google maps for driving directions. USGS Givens Hot Springs
