Jim Mcclure-Jerry Peak Wilderness

Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness is a federally protected 116-acre Wilderness Area in Idaho managed by the Forest Service. As a designated Wilderness, it preserves primitive backcountry—no roads, motors, or mechanized travel are permitted within its boundaries. The area offers hiking and backpacking for visitors seeking non-motorized backcountry experience and solitude away from developed facilities.

Visiting means embracing Wilderness rules: travel on foot, pack out everything you pack in, camp responsibly, and leave no trace. Access points and trailheads depend on surrounding National Forest roads and parking; confirm current conditions and any seasonal closures with the managing Forest Service office before you go. Summer and early fall typically offer the most reliable hiking conditions, though snow and weather can close routes in winter months.
