This is one the many different routes to reach Lucky Peak. The trail climbs up Shaw Mountain and reaches the southernmost flank of the Boise Front Range. Squaw Creek and Warm Springs Creek are located nearby and most of the vegetation will be in these these areas. There are remnants of over 9 mining sites on the mountains slopes, including a well preserved Adelmann Mine Group, complete with 2 standing structures. Each summer there is a songbird, raptor and owl survey that takes place on the summit of Lucky Peak because it lies within their migration paths.
