Directions to Lucky Peak
From the intersection of Hwy 21 and I-84, take Hwy 21 North (towards Idaho City). About 3 miles past the top of Lucky Peak Dam, turn left onto Highland Valley Road (about 3/4 mile before you get to the Hilltop Cafe) and follow this for a total of about 5 miles to our site in the trees just below the radio tower. There are "Idaho Bird Observatory" signs at every important intersection. As you approach the peak, there is a gate. Park in the flat area to the right and walk thru the gate and down the road for about 200 meters to our site in the trees.
Note: a 4WD and/or high clearance vehicle is highly recommended. Sedans can make it--just take it slowly and be careful of rocks and waterbars.
