Trail Creek is located on the West side of Pocatello. My wife, Marcella dropped my son and me off and picked us up just below Scout Mountain. Click on the push pins at the end of the trail for point to point driving directions. I'm not sure what happened to my GPS, but in the middle of the ride coming up Bell Marsh Creek it didn't track. I have over laid another track I had to fill in that area.

This is an over view of the whole ride. The pics are an eclectic assortment from many different rides. This particular ride was done with great speed and not much time to take pictures. It is a tradition for Mark and I to go for a ride on his birthday and I had a wedding to perform in the afternoon so we had to make it quick.
