Trail Overview

Expect a fairly easy trail here in the southern Idaho desert. This trail opens up with a few options to discover. As you head out, the road is fairly level, packed dirt and pretty dusty. You will not find many people out at the same time as you, so you can take your time or bring out some dirt bikes and rip through the area. It is winding in some areas, but there is a good amount of forward visibility to see who or what is in front of you. The area is open range in some parts; you will pass over cattle gates and even encounter some cattle along your journey. The reward of this trail is at the end at the Butte--it gives you a great look at the vast openness of the region.
