Nice day. Cloudy but no rain. Beautiful views. I’d been up several years ago in a minivan. The KLR was more fun and less stressful!

I’ve been here before. Nice spot for a break. Gas was only $3.05 in Salmon. Sadly, when I got back to the treasure valley later that day, it was still up near $3.50.

The road from Shoshone Ridge Interpretive Site over Lemhi Pass to Tendoy was beautiful and fun. This was a very nice picnic stop.

It was a super cold, rainy, and muddy morning going from West Yellowstone, were I stayed the night, and across the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge over to Monida on I-15. By the time I got to Hwy 324, the storm blow over and the sun came out. Cool spot.

The center was closed for the season, but I really enjoyed riding around the two lakes there.

Wow, super good views all around.

It’s a long ride from Kuna to Island Park on a DR, lol. It was closed for the season. Regardless, it was a beautiful area.

I didn’t know this was here, interesting place!

I didn’t locate the actual map rock, but I was very close to it.

I ignored the road closed sign to ride out onto the Butte and to the overlook. The landfill nearby seems to be pretty busy. Not sure why they put up the road closed sign…

I went inside this cave when I was in High School, but haven’t been in since. The road in is pretty beat up and rutted, with a bypass road that is better than the main road.

Today the weather was nice so I decided to pick up some of the SW Idaho sites. I have been to this site multiple times before.

Nice and cool October ride in today

not a set point, just a beautiful view with an awesome road

I rode up to the top of Lucky Peak entering from Highway 21 and passing by the Boise WMA Archery Range. This ride was probably not quite a 3 (I’m not totally sure what makes a 3), but it was definitely at least a 2.5. Fun ride, and it kept my attention focused for sure 🙂

Wet and soggy today, good ride though. like Cuprum H said nice fall colors.

It rained all night, rocks were a little slippery. the clouds were socked in, no view.

Not sunny today, great ride no dust

Got stuck

Rode up via Blacks Creek road and down the old Oregon trail road. Wasn’t too bad going down. Lots of ruts and some loose rock.

At Smith mountain in rain I decided to continue. Most incredible site from high dive I have seen with fall colors. Was going to photo on the way out but storm socked in. Good news was I had Black Lake to myself! First time since the seventies.

Was a whiteout for last mile. Made it to lookout and rain commenced while I took photo. A bit slippery bouncing off rocks coming down. 4 today usually a three.

This trail drops into the canyon. I have only made it down a few miles. Opportunity for adventure but not solo. Picture is of trailhead 1/2 mile past Kinney Point.

Quick break in rain. No dust,no tourists,excellent view.

Here are three pick-your-own sites that I enjoyed this summer, all in one post: Pinehurst Church, Robie Creek/Rocky Canyon road, and the Sacred Mountain Monastery. There were some ruts on Robie Creek road, but other than that, all were pretty easy 2’s.

This was really cool. Pretty decent forest service road with plenty of rocks at the upper end

Very nice ride as always. Good burger too

Beautiful this time of year

Been here many times. Nice view. Beautiful ride with the fall colors

Although the Interpretive Center was closed for the season, it’s a wonderful place to visit.
