Silver Peak is an 11167adj=midNaNadj=mid mountain summit in Idaho, United States.
Galena Peak ranks as the 94th-highest peak in Idaho, and it is part of the Boulder Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[1] The mountain is situated 18miles northwest of Ketchum, Idaho, on the common border shared by Blaine County and Custer County. It is set in the Hemingway–Boulders Wilderness on land managed by Sawtooth National Forest.[1] The peak is a popular climb and is visible from Highway 75 at Galena Summit.[5] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains into tributaries of the Big Wood River, whereas the east slope drains into the South Fork of the East Fork Salmon River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3800abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Big Wood River in 2.75miles and over 3500abbr=offNaNabbr=off above South Fork in 2miles. This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[2]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Galena Peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[6] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
