Description: This is a short ride right near Pocatello. It begins in the hills North of the Trail Creek Road goes to the top and drops down the other side to the Portneuf River. There is a surprizing tree filled area along side of the Portneuf that is kind of fun. If you have just an hour or two to ride there is actually some fun riding and a great view of Pocatello, Chubbuck and the Portneuf valley.
