Nice stop on the Oregon Trail on the way to Prairie. Well maintained gravel road.
Super cool, never been here before. Knew there was a back way to get from Hwy 20 to Boise but never tried to hard to find it before.
Pretty cool spot. The Mormon crickets are just starting to pop up. Took Immigrant road off of 20. Nice variation. This will be a hot one later in the season.
Fun and fast ride with Bart on freshly graded roads. A few marbly sections to keep you on your toes. Wind was howling on the return to Boise.
Fun ride today w/ Norb. Canyon Cr Station was the last stop on our clockwise loop. Another windy day out on the prairie; so glad I was on a moto vs a horse and wagon.
This years ride was again Sam-less! but great bunch riders. Good to see the stage stop back in good condition.
This was the first stop on the Poker Run. We had 17 bikes total, and it was a success by every measure. This site is along a beautiful route, and worth the trip. Watch out for sandy sections, otherwise it's 2's all the way.
Great ride with the Sam’s Prairie Poker run crowd. Some soft sandy topping on the run back down from Prairie
Had a great time on the Prairie ride. The building is new since the last time I was there.
A little ruff coming in from highway 20. Coming back on Squaw creek road was a lot smoother.
There's a roof on it now. This was a great day to ride. Mayfield Road is very well graded and it was a smooth ride down there. Not sure if I'll be able to do the Sam's Ride but in case I don't make it I wanted to check these three boxes (Canyon, Y Stop and South Fork Snake Overlook) on this beautiful weekend.
I also won’t be able to go on the Sam’s Prairie Poker Run, so I took the afternoon to nab this check in with Justin

Nice day for a ride
Easy access on pavement and well graded dirt roads
Pretty easy ride on dirt roads…hardly any washboarded stretches.
Interesting historical marker along the Oregon Trail.
Nice cool day

Hit this after a fun ride on the Oregon Trail!
Hot today, will only get hotter.

Great day for the Prairie Poker Ride
Fun ride on “fast gravel”.
