Ascent Trip Report

Kate and I have been wanting to climb 3 of the highest peaks in the Owyhees for quite a long time. It was 105 degrees in Boise today, so it was a perfect day to go hike at over 8000ft! It was quite warm (mid 80s) but we found some snow patches still lingering above 8000ft. The drive up to Silver City is a long, bumpy, dusty drive, but well worth the effort. We turned left off the main Silver City "road" about 1/2 mile past New York summit and followed the forest service road to the base of War Eagle Mountain. We climbed War Eagle, then Hayden Peak, and finished at Turntable Mountain before heading in to Silver City to look around and have a drink.

Hayden peak is another simple road hike. We parked at the saddle between Hayden and Turntable and hiked the road to the summit. We were the only ones on the mountain until a sheriff drove up in a RZR. We had a nice conversation before heading back down. The views from the summit are incredible, about what you'd expect from a peak with 3000ft of prominence.
