The Cusick Creek Trail to Kinport Peak in Pocatello, Idaho, is a moderately challenging hike that spans approximately 7.47 miles round trip. The trail features a steady incline, with an elevation gain of about 2,149 feet, leading to the summit of Kinport Peak. The trail is well-marked and winds through a variety of landscapes. It starts in a dry, sagebrush environment, transitions into a cooler, shaded forest, and finally opens up to a rocky, exposed peak. Along the way, hikers will pass by Cusick Creek, a small, babbling waterway that adds a refreshing element to the hike. At the summit, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. The trail is best hiked from late spring to early fall, when the weather is most favorable. Hikers should bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes due to the rocky terrain near the peak. The trail is also popular for mountain biking, so hikers should be aware of potential bikers on the trail.
