Malad, ID Area

[UnNative]

I've had a couple beer runs up to Idaho recently and made a couple videos.

The first is in the Malad Summit area. If you like single-track you have to go check out Kent's Canyon. Steep and rocky at the top and mellow at the bottom. I tried to make a loop but got exhausted trying to plow through overgrown parts of the trail.

The second video is at Third Creek, near Malad also. Crazy how dry it is this year compared to the same time last summer.

All right now then get you r too smoky ass up to the Aug.. 25 desert RACE and lets get this here thing done.
Wendover, How can I ever pass you on your trails bubba?

This would be something that not only you but me have not rode yet...

Wish I could ride with you, promised to take my kids rappelling up Logan canyon. Do you know where you're going to ride?

We rode 50 miles in a series of loops. It was really fun and had some challenging sections, but nothing too difficult. Garbanzo can say where we rode exactly... :ride:

Here are the maps of the area we rode

Fun section of trail. That Oxford ridge and down the other side we ride quite a bit. It's also part of the tour of Idaho. I have some Gopro footage of some great single track that's a bit further north (also part of the tour) I'll get it posted on our trip report.

Great riding area. I spent Saturday and Monday rappelling with my kids.. I need to get the bike cleaned up and out again. :)

Where do you access trailhead for Kents Canyon at?

I drove to Malad Summit and went up the only forest service road there. There was a jeep road leading up to the base (South End) of Kent's Canyon, but I did not ride down it to see where it connected to a main road.
