Description: This is a great half day ride in a really beautiful place in SE Idaho. It is very rocky in places and thus the Advanced Intermediate rating. Coming up South Canyon Trail from the Campground is very rocky, but going down the other side is Lower Intermediate. Old Canyon Trail is pretty much all Lower Intermediate. North Canyon is very washed out and rocky for the first half and then becomes an intermediate trail. All of the trails are 4 wheeler that we rode on. We didn't go to the end of North Canyon on this ride, but it drop down on the other side with access from roads on the West. The trail off to the bottom has access from Devil's Creek
Reservoir.
