Trail Overview

This short single track in the Danskin Trail System is a ridge line trail that goes over a series of rolling hills in this mountain range with lots of steep hill climbs and descents. It departs from #310 with a steep hill climb up to the top of a hill, then it downhills the rest of the way to #300. If going NE to SW, most of the trail is made up of big descents with flat sections in between. Some of the descents are quite steep, a bit rutted, with loose rock on the surface. The trail itself is easy because there are no rock obstacles, and it's pretty wide, but the steep descents add a challenge. They aren't too difficult, but you have to be comfortable with steep terrain. The dirt is soft and even a bit sandy, and there are a lot of whoops and brake bumps in the trail. It mostly goes through a wide open landscape on the top of rolling green hills in the Boise National Forest, with expansive views on the top of the ridgeline. There start to be more trees as you lose elevation towards trail #300. It loses 900 feet of elevation over 1.3 miles.

Access Description

The Danskin Trail System covers 60,000 acres and 150 miles of off-road trails in a high desert mountainous terrain. There are three staging areas. Bender Creek Trailhead on the north end, Willow Creek Trailhead on the east end, and Three Point Mountain Trailhead on the west end. This is a very popular riding area, but the trails are so expansive that even when the parking lots are full, you may not run into many people while out riding. The summer is likely very hot and dusty here, so the trails are best in spring and late fall.
