With only five trails and 800 feet of vert, the mom-and-pop Soldier Mountain, located outside the farming community of Fairfield in southern Idaho, punches above its weight class. Monumental links together a series of tabletops on sandy, occasionally narrow sidehill before dropping into the small root sections—many of them gappable—of the loamy lower mountain. Visit early in the season for one of the better trailside wildflower displays in the region.
