Access and Additional Route

North Ridge, Class 2

This route is not in the book. Access the peak from ID-21 at Mores Creek Summit by turning north onto FS-380. Follow this rough road to the saddle northwest of the summit of Pilot Peak. There is a 4-way junction at this point. A right turn takes you to Pilot Peak. A left turn takes you on a difficult 4WD road that follows the ridge top toward Freeman Peak. Continue north on FS-380, dropping off the saddle to the first major intersection. Turn left and follow this road southwest until the road reaches a junction on the ridge crest east of Freeman Peak.

The left fork goes around the South Side of the peak to a saddle south of the summit. The right fork leads around the North Side of the peak. Follow the North Side fork. Stay on the most-used route. On the North Side, you encounter FST-690 heading off toward Peak 7905. Stay on the main road and continue around Freeman Peak. Keep left at the next junction and follow the road to a saddle at the base of the peak. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended.

Park in this saddle and follow a very faint ATV trail uphill. This trail eventually disappears in the flower-covered ridge above. Continue up the ridge through meadows and around groves of trees to the summit. This route is 0.6 miles one-way with 260 feet of elevation gain. See the access map below.
