RIDE CENTER LINK: https://www.meetup.com/ATVridecenter/events/264763462/
NOTES: This is a great ride super close to Boise, but it is for expert riders only. Very narrow trails (50″), switch backs right from the unload area called “the spiral stair case” and it is not for riders afraid of heights and long drops. Just check out the pics from the ride center…incredible area to ride.
