Bogus Basin Mountain Biking – Boise, Idaho
Grab your mountain bike and travel the trail from the Nordic Center parking lot area down through a loop in the Boise National Forest as well as the Shafer Butte Picnic Area up past he Mores Mountain interpretive trail. It is an easy ride for beginners and yet beautiful for even those that are experienced riders.
You can also bike from the top of Bogus Basin all the way to the Boise foothills and eventually to the new Eagle Velodrome and Cycling Park. The Shafer Butte Trail System is open mid-June (or when the snow melts and the trails aren’t muddy) through mid-October. There is no trail fee required. There are limited resources such as restrooms, water or food on this trail and you should practice good nature care by packing in and out any garbage. There are approximately 80,000 acres of land for you to ride and enjoy but please stay off muddy trails and use common courtesy while riding. Remember that this is the home of many animals so please don’t spook them.
For skiing in the area you need to check with the park to see if there has been enough snow to open. When there is you will find some of the best skiing in Idaho. 208-342-2100 or toll-free 1-800-696-4511.
