Description
The mountain is located southeast of Yost, west of Snowville and south of Malta, Idaho in the Raft River Division of the Minidoka Ranger District of Sawtooth National Forest.[3][4][5]
The northern slopes of Bull Mountain are drained by tributaries of the Raft River, a tributary of the Snake River, and the southern slopes drain into the Great Salt Lake. The peak can be reached via a long trail from the east or a 4-wheel drive road from the west.[6] The summit is very broad, but views from the mountain can encompass the Albion, Black Pine, and Wasatch mountains.
