Welcome

The book provides a detailed guide to 55 hiking and mountain biking trips as well as a mile-by-mile guide to the 100-mile Owyhee Uplands Backcountry Byway.

The guide offers a ton of adventures close to home in the Owyhee Front, plus hiking and backpacking tips for the new Owyhee Wilderness areas. Be aware that many of the hiking adventures are self-guided adventures with no trails per se. You’ll need to follow our directions closely, plus it would be handy to bring supplemental maps with you such as topo maps, BLM maps and a GPS unit to ensure a successful adventure.

Jump on your road bike and let the wheels spin. Fly down a paved road with the wind at your back. Jump into a draft line of good friends, crank up the speed and see who can hang on. Wa-hoo! Head out on a half-day tour and clock 40 miles before lunch. Ride that twisting gnarly 3,300-vertical-foot hill-climb to the top of Bogus, and know that you’ve earned your dinner.

At last, now you can hook up with 75 of the best hiking and running trails in the greater Boise area – greenbelt trails, mountain trails in the Boise Foothills Ridge to Rivers Trail System, at Bogus Basin, the Owyhee Mountains and the Boise National Forest near Idaho City, Garden Valley and Smith’s Ferry.
