Hub of the woods type of place. I reached it coming up from Fairfield. Road was in good shape. After hitting this one I went east to Ketchum, coming in on Warm Springs Rd. Dollarhide Summit is open with no snow on it yesterday. It’s a really nice ride!
Nice to visit old friends. Big Smokey was a big “supply source” back when I did a 430 mile bikepacking race. (Smoke & Fire 420) Today was their first day of business for 2025. Road from Featherville has sections of powder and loose gravel, but great other than that. Route directly to Sun Valley is still socked in with snow on Dollarhyde, so I went north to Fairfield. That road was in excellent condition.
