Flexibility is key when you live and travel full time in a trailer. Initially we wanted to get back up to Salmon, ID to do some more riding but some of the fires in the west are pushing smoke into that valley. So, we looked for somewhere else and decided to check out Island Park, …
While in the area we had our eye on the Phillips Canyon & Ridge Loop and we tackled it the other day. This loop started up on the pass at Phillips Trailhead. 19 miles and 3066′ of climbing. I think we’ll take next week off from riding. Arrow Trail comes off the gravel road after …
Our last two rides in the area were doozies. Unfortunately the sky was a bit hazy from the fires everywhere in the west so the views in pictures didn’t turn out. The riding on the Pole Canyon Mikesell Loop was challenging. This is DEFINITELY a black diamond route with difficult climbs and descents. Our loop …
The closest trail network to Driggs, Idaho is Horseshoe Canyon and we rode there on a storm threatening day. The trails are nestled in the foothills of the Big Hole Mountain Range and aren’t technically difficult but are a fun close in option. Our ride was 13.1 miles with 1961′ of climbing. Immediately out of …
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, …
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′ …
