The Seven Devils Mountains are notable peaks in the western United States, located in west central Idaho in the Hells Canyon Wilderness.[1] They are above the east bank of the Snake River, which forms the Idaho-Oregon border.
The Seven Devils are part of the Rocky Mountains, and the tallest peaks are 7,900 vertical feet (2,410 m) above the adjacent river, with few trees in between. There are several marked and unmarked trails and cleared camping areas throughout the mountains. It has several waterfalls and streams as well as numerous lakes.
Immediately southwest of Riggins, the Seven Devils are accessible from U.S. Highway 95 by a gravel road which climbs over 5,500 vertical feet (1,680 m) in seventeen miles (27 km).
