This was a dirt road climb from Bear Basin up the back side and to the top of Brundage Ski Resort, followed by short and sweet sections of less traveled single track. We started at Bear Basin on FR451 and pedaled a forgiving dirt road up moderate grade for 5 miles to the 451-456 junction. We took FR456 to the top of Brundage Mountain Ski resort for another mile and excellent fall views of the surrounding lakes and mountains. We returned to the junction via 456, then took fresh single track (tr11 AKA Brundage Moto) down a 2.5 mile stretch of relatively new singletrack back to FR451. We then went downhill for about 1/2 mile to the beginning of the Payette Rim Trail, which starts out as a double track. We then took the first bit of single track, which was crowded by trees and had a few small jumps and also turned out to be a lark as it was only 1/4 mile before we were back at FR451. We decided that was too short, so returned went back up FR451 to the same exit and road it out longer until we found the actual Payette Rim Trail, which had a few creek crossings and eventually steered us through a logging area and back to 451 again. Total trip was 16 miles and 2500 feet elevation gain/loss.
