A Bike Ride Above Camas Prairie - Southern Idaho

Originally posted: May 23, 2018

On May 19, 2018, I took a ride on my "Giant©, Talon 2" mountain bike, #mtb, on a National Forest Service Road above Camas Prairie. Here are some photographs from that trip.

"Spike strips in use?" That's a first for me.

Just a nice gradual climb ... followed by more climbs

Almost back to the trailhead - That's Bennett Mountain

This non-technical ride is just filled with scenery in all directions. While it is a dirt road in ranching country, the traffic is very light ... somewhere on the order of one pickup truck per hour. Almost all property bordering this ride is private so stay on the public access road and don't trespass.

This ride could be as short as you like or be extended to a 25 mile out-and-back-ride depending on your physical fitness and time challenges for that particular day.

On this trip, I saw numerous pronghorns, cranes, ducks and a few deer, as well as thousands of ground squirrels and many serious raptor-type birds.

If you would like to attempt some customized adventures in the Elmore County area, I can create a trip for you. Through the end of May 2018, the price is just $25 for the digital maps and files.
