Question for ID, MT and CO locals and folks who’ve ridden there...
Posted: 08:17 am May 29 2021
After searching through the forum I didn’t find much in regards to updated information about riding in some areas I’m interested in...
North Fork, Idaho
Anaconda, Montana
San Juan’s, Colorado
Planning to do a loosely planned, super flexible trip with my 16 year old son in late July / early August. Will probably pull our camper and boondock near the hotspots. Also, will be using my buddy’s place in Anaconda as a base camp. We’ll hit Pipestone while there also. I’ve already done some probing of that area on my mountain bike.
I’m interested primarily in learning where to access trails around North Fork, Idaho. Single track stuff that connects to Day 6 of The Tour of Idaho. I’m familiar with Lost Trails Pass (skied there last month) and drove 93 from Craters of the Moon to Kalispell. Love that drive!
I’m trying to also formulate a backup plan in case fire season smokes out the Montana and Idaho trails. Thinking that we’d have some awareness of opportunities down towards the San Juan’s and Moab. Would prefer to not go down there because of the rumors of crowds, but beggars can’t be choosers, right?
Any experience or knowledge of trailheads and quiet boondocking spots are appreciated. We are experienced in back country riding and prefer to avoid high traffic areas. Looking for high desert and western woods riding. Thanks in advance for your help!
