Fisher Peak 2007

July 7th, 2007

We spent our mid-week Fourth of July holiday in Bonners Ferry this year. I got up insanely early (at our house the sun comes up at 4:15 a.m.) and ascended Fisher Peak, elevation 7480'. Fisher was the first mountain I ever hiked two years ago when we had just moved to the area. It's a great climb with some nice views of the Kootenai River Valley. You can clearly see Creston, BC across the border and also get glimpses of Bonners Ferry and areas to the south. The best view is into the Selkirk Mountains to the west, where you see several peaks very clearly across the valley. The weather was warm and a little hazy. When I climbed Fisher Peak two years ago I got to the top in 3 hours 15 minutes. This time I did it in 2 hours 30 minutes. Amazing what being in shape will do for your performance!
