Why This Blog?

Being a semi-Rexburg resident for over two years I’ve noticed that there isn’t anyone telling people where to go mountain biking. Everything is word of mouth, and someone has to show you where the trails are. But where do people go to find trails that aren’t locals? That’s the question that I went through when I first moved here. The point of this blog is to let you know where to go to get your fill of riding this season without any previous knowledge of the area.

The focus will mostly be on locations that are within an hour of Rexburg, ID., Such as Kelly canyon, and to the North towards Ashton. We might even get a little explorative and drop down to Pocatello, or even Utah. My plan is make a GPS track of each trail for your downloading pleasure that will easily be seen if you have Google Earth. I have done this before to show trails of ski resorts and it works pretty well. If you are a Rexburgian or know some cool trails, let me know about them and we’ll make sure take a ride and get those maps up for everyone else. Just write me a comment and we’ll get out there

SNOW -- There’s still too much snow to go riding in the mountains! There’s defiantly less than a few weeks ago, but we’re still not able to get higher than about 6500ft. So be patient and keep riding where you can. This might be funny for some of you; but I’m going crazy, I’m so antsy to get on the trails I was dropping some rocks in front of my apartment and totally went right over the handle bars in front of a group of people. So worth it though.
