Description: Had a chance to ride this trail again (Baldy Mountain Ride) and make the discovery of the access trail from Beaver Dam Road on the East side so I thought I would share it. The trail off the end of Sedgwick Peak to the South is an especially fun ride as is the trail access from Beaver Dam Road to the East. Had a great ride with some friends from our church.

Summary: This is some really fun riding, not too diffiult, but some intermediate stuff that makes it a great place to go for a few hours that is close by Pocatello. To access it you go through a closed metal gate, that I had thought some time to be private property, but is actually public access.
