I've just discovered some more great riding! Thanks to some e-friends,
Dave,
Rick and Cliff I got turned on to Kelly Canyon Area. My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary a week late and take a couple days riding. We stayed over night at the
Blue Heron Inn, an absolutely fantastic Bed & Breakfast. My wife hasn't ridden much lately so we took it easy and slow. My main objective, other than have fun with my wife, was to scout out what was up there. All winter I have been going over the area using Google Earth and some online
Forest Service maps to scout it before the snow had melted, so I was anxious to see it in real life. It was no disappointment. Just the ride along the Snake River on FS Rd 206 was worth the trip.
