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, …

I’m impressed with the riding here in Pocatello. I know other people ride here but it has been days since we have seen anyone else on the trail. Perfect. Today we rode from camp and went around and up to the top of Scout Mountain. Our ride was tough at 14.4 miles with 2986′ of …
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 …
We took a leisurely walk up Temple Fork Trail from camp one morning. Our hike was around 6 miles and followed the creek the whole way. Past the second bridge we turned left and headed up the canyon into thicker forest. We passed by several beaver dams and lots of greenery. Sawmill Temple Fork buzzed …
With temps expected to reach 92 we got an early start and headed towards Bear Lake to ride Hodges Canyon and Richardson Fork. Our ride was 16 miles with 2614′ of climbing. These are both atv trails and nothing spectacular riding wise, but had great views. We took Richardson down and then climbed back up …
New favorite in the area! We rode Stump Hollow as a lollipop or cherry stem. Up the trail, did a loop at the top, and came back down. Our ride was 13 miles with 2031′ of climbing. The trail climbs steadily from the start and travels through shady forest of aspens and firs. It’s pretty …
