There were bits of snow remaining from the storm two days ago when we visited the east Steens overlook. The clouds came in and there were no views here but on over to Steen‘s Mountain we got some nice views there.
Nice ride, came from the west, the gate was closed and had to go around. Sun went down, got caught in the dark.
Awesome Road, Surprising View.
54 – Missouri Mine Phone Booth (2+)
44°00'43.4"N 115°50'57.6"W
Intersection of Missouri Mine Road and FS395 - about halfway between Centerville and Grimes Pass.
Missouri Mine Road is a gem. Beautiful scenic views around every turn!
It's a moderately wide dirt/rocky road with lots of uphills, downhills, turns, and switchbacks. The last thing I expected to see was this "phone booth" on the west side of Missouri Mine Road, as I approached FS395 from the south.
Great first or last stop on your planned ride. Coffee in the morning or a soda in the afternoon, Donna's has you covered. If the Magnolia is open, it's definitely worth a look.
Support Prairie businesses because they support us! (off-road enthusiasts)
Alder Creek is a surprisingly busy dirt highway. Watch for oncoming traffic.
Depending on which way you come in and whether you prefer steep uphill or downhill switchbacks, this can be a level 2 or a level 3 site. Watch for side-by-sides, trucks, and hunters if riding on the weekend.
Easy ride in from Idaho City or Prairie. You're in the right place if the big brown sign says "Koppes" a half-dozen times or so.
