Ashton-Tetonia Trail

Beautiful fall ride

October, 2024 by vvvqsxnj7r

The leaves were in their fall glory of colors. The ride was beautiful and the trail was great. We started from Tetonia. We will be back to do again.

Bill Chipman Palouse Trail

Not For Commuters.

October, 2024 by bikesordeath

Attempted to ride from the trail end in Pullman, WA to Moscow, ID. The experience was super disappointing. Cracks in the asphalt (bitumen) surface are so numerous and so big and so poorly patched that it's completely unusable as a transportation corridor. By numerous, I mean cracks every 3 to 20 meters for the length of the part I rode. And anywhere from 5 cm to 15 cm wide across for the width of the trail. And deep.

The trail isn't practical for bicycle commuting because the cracks make traveling at an efficient speed difficult. I spent so much time focusing on the cracks and standing in the pedals to dampen the shocks that I could never focus on anything else or gain any speed. And they would be absolutely damaging to the wheels of a bike loaded with groceries. I suppose an ebike with large low pressure tires wouldn't be affected too badly, but that's an exception to what most cyclists use.

I gave up and turned around after less than 4 km. Two star because it's still a nice walking/jogging trail.

Route of the Hiawatha

Amazing

October, 2024 by johrn

We rode this trail in early September and fell in love with the experience. It is one of the first ‘destination’ trails we have done and it fueled our desire to ride more. The trail has a very easy grade, so we decided we would skip the shuttle bus that takes you from the bottom back to the top and just rode our e-bikes back. Did not need to use any throttle, the pedal-assist was all we needed. (We are recently retired sr. citizens). Saved us a few $$ and was very enjoyable to see the views coming back up the mountain. Highly recommend this trail!

Great American Rail-Trail

such a beautiful trail!

October, 2024 by sherryschie

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes

Favorite Trail of My Biking Career

October, 2024 by nume0112

This trail is absolutely incredible. We rode Oct 15, so none of the local watering holes were open mid-week but will be open Fri-Sun. We saw a total of 10 bikers on our 20 mile ride and a few deer. Trail in impeccable shape.

Railroad Right-of-Way Trail

Bear Gulch Beauty

October, 2024 by jeff.steele

We’re from TN vacationing in YNP Decided to see Mesa Falls & ride the trail since Bear Gulch Trailhead was approx 4-miles from Mesa Falls. Trail was beautiful. Almost as pretty as Route of Hiawatha. We had Mtn Bikes with zero problems.

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.

Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes

Loved it

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Went from about Plumber to will past Medimont over a few days period. 20 mile increments. Stopped at the bar in Harrison. Fun little place. Also rode the trail in town a little bit. That was ok.

Driggs Pathways

Not much

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Rode all the trails in Driggs. Kind of lame. I invented my own trails.

Victor to Driggs Rail-Trail

trail needs resurfaced

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

The ride is ok thus it got 2 stars. The surface was poorly layed and requires a lot of concentration to not wreck

Canyon Rim Trail

Not For Everything

July, 2024 by 208blueskypig

The trail is asphalt but there are wide, deep cracks the width of the trail and are all over the trail. Lots of trash along the trail, especially by the bridge and tourist center. It could be a great trail, but the city will not maintain it properly. You can bike it, but it will be hairy if you try to inline on it with those cracks! Parts of the trail you have to go onto the road and the west end of the trail is really degraded.

Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes

Plummer to Harrison

July, 2024 by aggriffus

Parked at the Plummer trailhead and rode to Harrison in mid-July. Ride to Harrison is great as it’s on the downhill grade. Yay! But you know what that means. Uphill on the way back so keep that in mind. The trail itself is still I. Good shape—there are some patched cracks but they’re not as bad as some other RTTs.
