Latest Check-Ins
Pretty nice set up, quite a few wide spots up the road from the pit toilets.
Stay on the road.
Saw a few wild horse near dusk.
Empty on a Sunday, surprisingly.
So many trails, mountain biking paradise.
No water so plan accordingly.
Got here using Google maps.
Pack it in, pack it out.
This is an amazing, open BLM area with lots of places to park overnight. The main road starts off paved and turns into a well maintained gravel road. there are two large parking lots with vault toilets and a map of the area, and roads throughout. I had a very quiet night on a side road pullout where I only saw one mountain biker in the distance. Verizon varied but got four bars when I continued down the road and up the hill.
Report Check-InThe good: this is a free camping spot with nice views, pit toilet, not far from Boise area, and I had the place entirely to myself. The road in was paved until the last three miles which were gravel and just fine. It has lots of nice trails and there was one just a short half mile to a rock outcrop that had a panoramic view. There is a boat ramp and dock on the snake river close by too so I went for a float and swim the next day.
The bad: there's a feed lot just half a mile away so flies were everywhere. Even with bug screen a half dozen got inside. They're is also some kind of locust plague going on in this area and there were a lot of big black bugs. They don't bite nor are they dangerous but they did look scary when I went into the bathroom LoL. It's also really hot there, not a stick of shade to be found anywhere, but I was ok temperature wise until about noon when I left cause it was getting hot and went to the river.
All in all a good spot if you know what you're getting into.
