Today was a lot of climbing. We connected two loops over on the SW side of Driggs and wow was it fun. 15.3 miles with 3063′ of climbing. Ooof. Grove Creek starts off with some pretty steep grades that are a true grind before you hit some switchbacks that climb the rest of the way …
Grand Targhee Resort has enough mountain bike trails to ride several days and we spent today riding a close version of the first loop of a big 100 mile race they hold here in August. Our ride was 19.1 miles with 2517′ of climbing and we topped out at 9701′ for ridiculous views of the …
Next up is the Driggs, ID area and we found a great boondocking spot from which to launch all our activities. Between the whispering jazz hands of the aspens and the rushing sound of the creek I find myself dozing off in my chair after rides. Our first ride was right from camp up Mill …
There are so many trails out in the City Creek network that we spent 2 more days riding all different stuff. City Creek Trails The first day of riding in Pocatello we did a loop on one side of the network, this time we stuck to the other side. Our loop linked together The Grove, …

Five star route! Our second day of riding in Pocatello felt markedly different from day one. Today we were deep in green jungle forest for the first part of the loop and then high up on flowery mountains for the rest. Our loop (with a slight detour the wrong way) was 19.1 miles with 3,023′ …
This is our first time in Pocatello, ID and so far so good. There are a plethora of trails in and around town which is what drew us to the area. After spending some time in the morning scraping tree sap off the windshield of the truck with a razor blade, we hit the City …
There were a couple things we wanted to do up in the Tony Grove area but the entire road is closed until July 1 so we had to skip the hike to Naomi Peak. We altered Bunchgrass White Pine Lake to be an out and back instead of a loop. Our ride was 17.5 miles …
Most of the time we try to find boondocking spots near all the riding and hiking we want to do so that we don’t have to drive much. This spot allows us to do just that. Again, we rode from camp on a fun route of 15.3 miles with 2178’ of climbing. We started out …
Old Ephraim was the last and said to be largest grizzly bear in Utah (as far as anyone knows). The grizzly allegedly did quite a bit of damage to sheep herds and after 10 years of tracking, Frank Clark shot him on August 22, 1923. At the time of his death he stood almost 10 …
