Product Description
Borah Peak, known to locals as Mt. Borah, is the tallest mountain in Idaho. Borah rises to a respectable 12,662 feet (12,668 NAVD88) above the rugged Lost River mountain range above the drylands in the remote east-central part of the state.
Borah has been subject to the ebb and flow of plate tectonics that have been shifting the landscape of this region for thousands of years. A magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck in October 1983 tore a rift into the nearby foothills and actually raised the mountain's elevation by seven feet.
As the state highpoint of Idaho, Mt. Borah is a magnet for climbers every summer. A strenuous trail follows the southwest ridge to the summit. The main obstacle of the otherwise nontechnical route, infamously known as Chickenout Ridge, involves an airy scramble over a narrow outcropping of rock no wider than a school bus and has a reputation for turning back those prone to vertigo.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Natural Versatile Plastic" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "Versatile Plastic" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.
All TinyMtn models have hollow bottoms - this is to save on weight, and thus cost. Many larger models also have extra flanges on their undersides to increase rigidity and strength. To make the model more solid, you should feel free to carefully pour resin into the bottom cavity, or glue a properly-sized slab of wood or another material into it.
These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please tinymtnbiz@gmail.com and we'll do our best to fulfill your request.
