What an amazing day we had on the Hiawatha last month. We were there the last week of their season and chose a good weather day for the ride. My husband and I are in our mid-fifties, of average physical shape, and rode mountain bikes I’d just inherited. After reading another review regarding the trail, We elected to ride approximately 13 miles down the trail and then back up, which saved us the transport fee. It was a great workout, but doable. With many stops for pictures, water, and snacks.. it took us 4 hours.
I rode this trail while on vacation. It offers numerous places to stop for a meal, snacks or beers. Occasional detours which are common with city trails. A good mix of nature and city sights, including watching surfers on the Boise River rapids. Very well maintained!
Boise is a beautiful city, and this trail is great if you like that kind of riding. It's somewhat kinda closed in and you don't really get any views of the mountains or the river. Lotsa people on the trail as well.
Went from the Presley to Midvale and I have to say this was the roughest rail trail I have ever been on. While the scenery is great, you have to stop to really take it in because while riding, you are constantly on the lookout for big rocks that'll shift your bike and you're always looking ahead to try and select the smoother part of the trail. This would be a really awesome trail if somehow it could get smoothed out & cleaned up.
I rode this trail the last weekend in September on an overcast morning, and loved it! I loved the rural feel and the colorful mountains in the distance. The last mile or two we biked through a canopy of yellow trees on a winding path. Gorgeous!
This is a wonderful ride. This is an easy 15 mile descent with amazing views. Expect to get dirty and wet going through the tunnels. Pack a lunch. E-Bikes have no need to shuttle. Highly recommend.
When I first heard about this trail MANY (27) years ago, I said, "This must go on my bucket list!" This late July I crossed it off, finally. All I can say is that this trail is all that it is cracked up to be and MORE!! I was definitely living the dream!
The only bummer was having to rent bikes because we flew out! They were not the best because, of course, one gets comfort from their own ride. My husband's bike kept breaking. We had to fix it once on the trail side, with the help of volunteer Trail Patrol (Yep, they got 'em) and again at the bottom before our ride back up. We had decided to make the dream last.
I recommend checking out their web site, as there is very much needed info and you will know about special events that may hinder your experience.
We saw quite a few families with littles as young as 5 years old. The slow decent makes it ideal for them and there is a shuttle bus service to take you back up.
I just might ride again but I'll bring my own bike next time.
Excellent trail. Fields, hills, cows, trestle bridges; full 30 miles end to end! Was warm when we rode however there is shade along the way.
Here from Phoenix and loved the trail Wasn’t all paved but still good and pretty smooth. Will do it again before we leave to head home. Parked at Reid Merrill Park as we were early enough to get a spot. Lots of walkers with dogs and other bikes and it was morning on a Friday. Good trail
We rode this trail 3 times and covered from Bellevue to Ketchum and the Sun Valley loop. It is very well maintained and completely asphalt. There’s some shaded riding in a few spots but mainly out in the open so expect to be in the sun for most of it.
