As cool as a rotten tomato is about the same as me not being able to ride any real trails this last week. The weathers been a little questionable and it’s been a little cold, but it’s the busy life I lead, not the weather, that kept me from going this last week. When I say “real” trails, I mean trails that make my heart beat faster and give me an adrenaline rush. I have some new trails in mind that I want to investigate and map.
I did however get out and find some mellow trails that were pretty fun to ride. I went camping by Targhee Creek, which is about an hour outside of Rexburg towards Island Park and Yellowstone. The campsite was excellent complete with a raging creek, plenty of camp spots, and bear boxes to keep those bears away. That’s not the cool part though; there are signs that tell you where the trails are. They’re all pretty mellow. One that wasn’t marked was across the creek towards the West. I would recommend taking a GPS so you don’t get too lost, since there are miles and miles of old logging roads that go back into the woods for as far as you can imagine. I rode for a good hour and didn’t see the end of the particular trail that I chose.
Check that spot out, and check here again next week for another “real” trail.
