This Idaho/Montana border summit is an easy ‘walk-up’ from US Forest Service Road #044. The summit is on the Idaho/Montana border. From the summit are good views of the steep slopes of the Salmon River Canyon and high summits in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.
Elk Mountain is a short scramble off a good US Forest Service road. The scramble is mostly on a ridge through an old clearcut that has in places heavy ceanothus brush. Wood ticks can be abundant in the spring.
Camelback Mountain is accessible by taking Pocatello Crk Rd (in Pocatello) east until you see Park Rd just East of the KOA campground. Park Rd connects Pocatello Crk Rd to West Buckskin Rd. Go East on West Buckskin Rd. Camelback is a BLM landlocked summit. The only public access is on W.

Between October 21 and October 30, 2020, we visited the Sunriver / Bend areas of Oregon. The cold but clear weather allowed us to Activate 8 SOTA summits in 6 outings. This report is one of a series, and deals with the Activation of Pine Mountain, W7O/CE-058. On the same day, a few hours later, we also Activated Pine Benchmark, W7O/CE-068, which lies approximately 1.6 miles NW of Pine Mountain. That Activation will be subject of separate report.
Haystack Mountain is one of several SOTA summits near the Magruder Corridor. This road divides some of the most wild-country in Idaho, the Selway Bitterroot and Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness areas. A trail system FS#26, and a non-system hunter trail is near the summit however it is much shorter to just bushwhack from the road through mostly open forest. Only a short obstacle of downed trees slows the otherwise easy hike. 
Chinese Peak is one of the few drive-ups in the area during the Spring, Summer and Fall. Take South 5th street in Pocatello Idaho and Turn East at Barton Rd.

This gate closes to motorized vehicles from Nov 15th to April 1st due to it is a winter game range.
There are alot of various towers on the summit. It is a great summit to chase on or to learn SOTA activating.
