A nice ride. The hub is a good place to start.
Absolutely gorgeous. We were on our way to Yellowstone this summer and stoped in twin falls to check out this bike trail. It did not disappoint. I have added it to my top 5 most beautiful trails.
This trail is so rough and ground down to almost sand that I literally could not enjoy any scenery do to having to keep my eyes focused on 3 feet in front of me at all times. ATVs have absolutely ruined this trail to the point it isn’t even decent for them.
This trail should not be on TrailLink period. My wife and I rode about 5 miles on this trail and saw not one other bike or anything else for that matter. Trail has been ruined by ATVs to the point that even they don’t use it much anymore. Zero stars
We were looking forward to this trail. We reserved tickets online and checking in was smooth. The first tunnel was a different experience. I was glad I brought a jacket and enjoyed biking through once I got used to biking with a light. The trail started out slightly rough but fine and the scenery was breathtaking. Eventually the trail got worse with lots large gravel and a washboard surface. We rode our hybrids and the constant vibration seemed hard on our bikes and bodies! I wish they would improve this trail surface! We were going to ride back up but just took the shuttle because we were so tired of all the rocks.
The pathway has been extended. It is at least three miles long now. Also it connects to Wilson Pathway which can extend it several more miles.
The green belt has so many closed areas and what is open is unpaved. We road in circles three times back to the beginning and started over to find a way up the river but with all the construction and new homes, private path signs, and construction vehicles we didn’t make it to our planned lunch spot. The map does not show the closures and new structures and fences that were in our way.
We took electric scooters and did 16miles of this trail was so beautiful seen 6 deer 5 turkeys will glad go back and explore more
A lot of rough trail, would highly recommend at least fork suspension. Also a lot of total cell black zones, so have backup navigation and communication option if you’re worried. Long stretches are completely isolated and road is inaccessible, so if you need medical assistance or have a break down, it can be a long walk. Great variety of scenery, and all the small towns the trail passes through are good for an hour’s investigation and/or a meal, particularly in Midvale. Having just done the entire trail, I’d recommend Fruitvale to Tamarack and back for by far the best bang for your buck.
I did 22 miles total from Moscow to Troy. Palouse headwinds both ways so be advised. But it’s paved and in good condition. There is a section where maintenance did mow and left the tall grass trimmings laying on the trail for a couple miles. Not a big deal as the sun is drying it and it will be gone soon.
The total one way distance from just east of Moscow to the end in Bear Creek canyon is 16 miles and is entirely paved. It is really fun, despite being uphill from Moscow but there is a "summit" halfway and then it is downhill both ways... The one odd thing we found is that the vault toilets are on the trail and not necessarily at the trailhead. We figured that maybe this was done to minimize vandalism. Despite this trail paralleling the highway, it was still alot of fun.
However, since it has been a few years since the last review, please note that the gravelled section at the end of the trail in Bear Creek Canyon is washed out. The paved trail ends and then there is a 10' section of gravel and then a steep gully down to the weeds and creek side. There is a hiking path that has been pioneered but it is not rideable due to rocks, boulders, sloughing and debris. It also does not appear that the paved trail will ever be built further as the cost of just reestablishing the railbed is prohibitive.
