Three Point Mountain is a nice short hike (just under 2 miles round trip) located in the Danskin Mountains, east of Boise. You can spot it pretty easily from the valley if you know what to look for, and it�s a short drive of thirty minutes or less from town. As Alanna and I drove up Blacks Creek Road, we could tell that the wildflowers were in full bloom, and sure enough, we saw close to a dozen different varieties during the hike.
