Occupy Salmon

Occupy Salmon!

And bring your Mountain Bikes not your politics.

--August 12 to 19--
Come join the most unorganized group rides in Idaho. 8 days of high mountain, 20+ mile rides with no vehicle support. Pack a lunch, headlamp, bear mace and a water filter. These are some tough rides. Ride at your own risk. Bring your camp gear. Stop by Idaho Adventures or North Fork Village to find out where the base camp(s) will be. It's a loose itinerary, so be flexible. The shuttle van(s) will be leaving @ 8am every morning from the base camp, where ever that might be.
Come join the chaos!

Some of the riding will include

• Big Timber Creek Loop near Leadore ID
• 12mile to Lime Creek in the Lemhi Mtns
• Powderhouse Laps on Williams Summit
• Twin Creek from the Divide Trail
• The CDT and Three Mile Ridge
• Wagonhammer - Loops and Shuttles On Stein Mtn
• Warm Springs Ridge near Lost Trail Pass

Big Timber Creek

Flat Iron Mountain

Big Timber Creek runs through a beautiful canyon in the Central Lemhi Range.  The trail here (Tr 6183.1) is open only to MX which makes it awesome for the Mtn Bike.  A great area for scenery, exploration riding and potential high country epics.


There are several loop options from Big Timber Creek...most of which to are MX only.
- Rocky Creek to Big Timber Creek (MX)
- Cabin Creek to Trail Creek via Big Timber (Cabin is MX, Trail is non motorized)
- Flat Iron Mtn Loop, accessed from Squirrel Creek via Big Timber  (non motorized)
- Big Timber to Middle Fork Little Timber Creek

Shuttles to Big 8 Mile rides are possible and giant shuttles in to the Pahsimeroi drainages.

These trails are over 50 miles from Salmon and just west of Leadore...so.
Free camping can be had at the BLM's Smokey Cub Rec Site on the other side of the valley.  Closer to Big Timber Creek, camping can be had at Timber Creek Reservoir.




For reference, the track on the map below is about 10 miles long. Click the Trees for the names of the drainages.
