Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route is an off-road bicycle touring route in central Idaho. Developed by Adventure Cycling Association, the route consists of 518 miles of mostly dirt roads and 227 miles of optional singletrack, with access to more than 50 hot springs.[1]

The main route is a loop through the towns of Featherville, Ketchum, Stanley, McCall, Cascade, Crouch, and Idaho City, with an optional spur to Boise.[2] The main route is bidirectional, but the singletrack routes are only mapped counterclockwise.[3]

Terrain

Notable highlights on the route include the Sawtooth Mountains, the White Cloud Mountains, the Boise Mountains, the Salmon River, and the Sawtooth, Salmon-Challis, Boise, and Payette National Forests.[4] The route also takes the riders near several wilderness areas, including the Hemingway-Boulder, the Sawtooth, the Frank Church River of No Return, and the Cecil D. Andrus–White Clouds Wilderness, which effectively bars cyclists from the White Cloud singletrack option.[4]
