Tohobit Peak is a 10046adj=midNaNadj=mid mountain summit located in Boise County, Idaho, United States.
Tohobit Peak is part of the Sawtooth Range which is a subset of the Rocky Mountains.[4] The peak ranks as the 16th-highest in Boise County.[2] The mountain is situated 11 miles (18 km) southwest of Stanley, Idaho, in the Sawtooth Wilderness on land managed by Boise National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains to the South Fork Payette River via Baron and Goat creeks. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3450abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Baron Creek in 1.1 mile (1.8 km) and 3150abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Goat Creek in 0.85 mile (1.37 km). The first ascent of the summit was made in 1985 by Steve Grantham, Dave Ferguson, Ken Ferguson and Mike Crist via the West Ridge using a Goat Creek approach.[1] "Tohobit" is a Native American word for "black."[1] This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Tohobit Peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[5] Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −30 °F.
