What a great way to promote our trails! 2 miles from Salmon, ID is a trailhead that accesses over 35 miles of singletrack. Countless more in any direction within an hours drive, including the Continental Divide Trail. Just getting a plug in!! If this passes I am in!! What a great way to promote our trails!

Close to downtown Boise, you can start in Camelsback park and go for a long time. Very soft dusty trails but they are fun. If you're ever out there, check out IMT (Idaho Mountain Touring) in downtown Boise and rent yourself a bike and hit the trails (within 1mi of the shop). Great people and a great area. I wish I could get out there more often. The license plates is a great way to support their trails, wish we had those in VA. I have ridden out there and the trail systems they have are outstanding.

And yes quite a bit of it is old logging and forest service roads, but they just give access to a whole lot of country to ride and other trails. Most of the best riding in Idaho isn’t very close to the major population centers though so that brings up other activities connected to the sport- camping areas etc. The awareness these plates would bring to the general public driving down the road far outweighs any dollar amount donated to the trails in my opinion. If the money raised could be put towards simple mapping and signage I think the local organizations and clubs would get together and maintain most of the trails. It would be a win, win deal I believe, I hope it passes. I agree, Idaho is MTB diamond in the rough, Ive only sampled a small portion of it myself.

Who knew there was that much riding in Idaho? I mean, I always figured the riding over there would be good, but I didn't think there would be that much of it! I wonder how much of that is singletrack? 12,000 miles of trails?! Who knew there was that much riding in Idaho?
