Celebrate your journey to the highest point in Idaho with the Borah Peak Bench Mark Medallion, the perfect gift for any climber or hiker! Crafted with precision, this 3 ¼ inch diameter medallion is cast in fine pewter, showcasing the esteemed summit bench mark set in 1965. It proudly features the elevation of 12,655 feet, marking Borah Peak’s towering presence in the Big Lost River Range. The Borah Peak Bench Mark Medallion is backed with felt, adding a touch of elegance and protection. It comes with a soft fleece pouch for safekeeping, and is packaged in a clear vinyl box, making it an ideal keepsake or gift for outdoor enthusiasts. Borah Peak, often called “Mount Borah” by locals, is not just Idaho's highest peak but also a cherished destination for mountaineers. Standing tall at 12,655 feet, this peak offers a challenging climb with its loose rock, sheer cliffs, and steep slopes. Preparedness is key, and high pointers recommend ice axes for safety. The 1983 Borah Peak Earthquake (magnitude 7.3) is a testament to the powerful natural forces that shaped this majestic mountain. Despite its challenges, the “Chicken Out” Ridge along the Southwest route is a popular path for climbers aiming for the summit. Whether you’ve conquered Borah’s heights or simply admire its grandeur, this bench mark medallion is a perfect tribute to your adventure. Celebrate your ascent and commemorate Idaho’s iconic peak with this finely crafted keepsake.
