	Borah Peak, ID
		Borah Peak is rather more than a very strenuous hike: the ascent requires "scrambling" (rock climbing using the hands) and crossing a small but precipitous snowfield at very high altitude.
		The Forest Service's little brochure on Borah Peak shows the route as climbing the open slope to the north of the parking ot, and one could do this instead of following the ravine for the first hour of the hike.
		The alternative route would be a little longer but not so steep, and from the topo map would seem to entail hiking higher than need be, then losing some altitude to meet the usual route at the saddle.
