Idaho City: One of the Best Trail Networks in the State

The Boise Basin around Idaho City carries a trail system most riders in the region have heard of even if they have not ridden it. Whoop-Em-Up, Gold Fork, the Charcoal Gulch country and the long network of mining-era roads give you hundreds of miles without repeating yourself, and the grooming keeps a good share of it usable through winter on a sled.

Terrain like this is hard on equipment in specific ways. Long climbs at elevation cook belts and clutches, decomposed granite eats tires, and dust that fine finds every gap in a filtration system. Set a machine up for it and it lasts; buy on sticker price and you will learn the difference in a season.

We are about two hours west and carry both halves of what this area rides: Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, KTM and the rest through summer, Ski-Doo and Lynx once the grooming starts. One service department for both.
