Soldier Mountains Traverse

Date: August 17, 2019.

Objectives: "North Smoky Dome", Smoky Dome, Peak 9666 aka "3rd Peak".

Stats: 13.8 miles with 4,800 feet of ascent.

Links: StravaIdaho: A Climbing Guide.  Summit Post.

A tough day for such short mileage but was actually easier/shorter than expected.  While I did take this on as a run, the terrain was very un-run-able other than the trail used for the approach and escape.  This route was mostly off trail though some thick forest with downfall and underbrush, as well as talus up to class 3 and a good chunk of bushwhacking.  If you're looking for an "easy" three peak day, this is not it.
