The Idaho 11ers
Idaho is home to 115 ranked peaks rising above 11,000 feet. While a few are household names, many are obscure, seldom-visited giants spread across seven rugged mountain ranges. None of these summits feature a maintained trail; instead, they demand a mix of cross-country navigation, challenging scrambles, and—in some cases—technical climbing skills. Each is a rewarding objective, and several are undisputed Idaho classics.
The Impact of LIDAR Data
For years, the benchmark was believed to be 114 peaks. However, the emergence of high-precision LIDAR measurement data has brought new clarity to our high-country maps. As of early 2026, the official count stands at 115 ranked peaks. These measurements have reshaped the list in recent years:
• 2023: Three new peaks were officially added, while two were removed.
• 2025: Another new peak was added to the list, with one more being demoted.
Because some areas of Idaho have yet to undergo a full LIDAR review, the 11er list remains a living document, still subject to change.

The Quest for the 115
Reaching the summit of every Idaho 11er is a monumental feat of dedication. This achievement remained unclaimed until September 21, 2012, when my friends John Roache and George Reinier became the first known climbers to complete the entire list. It took six years of immense commitment and grit to accomplish this feat. I am proud to have tagged a few of these peaks alongside these two Idaho mountaineering pioneers. I highly recommend exploring their trip reports and photos for a true look at the Idaho backcountry.
