10 Check-Ins
This was way out there, but it was a beautiful drive. The road coming in from Fairfield was much easier than the one up from Pine.
I arrived before the store was open for the day or after it was closed for the season. I didn't check closely enough.
Nice easy road to the shop. I took the pic and scooted as the weather had started to look ominous.
I must have visited for an hour with Sean, the fellow running the Smokey Bar Store, while he grilled up a custom hamburger for me. It was a very nice experience.
The ride over Dollarhide Summit from Ketchum was well worth the effort.
Did not know this existed. Great spot for a beer, to bad we had a long way to go so maybe next time.
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.

I’d never been here before. Another great day for a ride.
