Idaho Trip 2014
Starting to plan a trip to Idaho for next summer. I or no one in my group has ever been riding there. All riders are experienced and have been riding 30years. We have been riding Colorado for 25 years so are that level of technical terrain.
Now for the question. Where do you recommend we go? Camping, hotel, or Cabin are all ok. What map company sells the best maps for Idaho? What type of range do the bikes need? What elevation is most of the riding and can we expect trails to be open early July? Tell me what ever I need to know. If we are coming via I 80 any other must stops along the way? Thanks for the help |

If you don't have any plans yet, the Swan/Teton Valleys have a lot to offer. From miles of technical singletrack to the St. Anthony sand dunes just an hour away.
Sandwiched between the two valleys are the Snake River Range, and the Big Hole Mtns. There is easily a couple of days worth of riding here and various lodging and camping options in Swan Valley, and the Driggs Victor area. i cant find my map but I think it was a trail/mtn. bike guide by Beartooth Publishing. http://rockymountainmaps.com/images/...on_Jackson.jpg . This one worked pretty good along with a USFS MVUP. The sand dunes are a lot of fun as well. 10,000 acres of sand to explore and carve. Just make sure that you have a flag on your bike. As far as bikes go, any 250-450 4t or 2t will be great on the ST. You might want a bigger 4t fore the dunes, I didn't have my 300 when I lived there but I'm sure it would be fun. I did have a bad experience on a wr 250 though, the clutch was not happy. And as far as plates go, Idaho is pretty easy going. The cops won't hassle you for riding on the road as long as your not on an interstate hwy., at least thats what the local cops told us |

Thanks for the replies. I'll do some research with this information. All of our bikes are legally plated but basically will be in full dirt bike set up VS dual sport set up. Mainly 2 strokes.
I'm the same celler on ktmtalk so I'll do the PM as suggested. |

Thought so! I believe you had sent me some spacers for my Revloc clutch a couple years back. Marc
