Idaho Dirt
Riding around the heart of the Idaho Wilderness.
We will start in Garden Valley. I'm riding a borrowed and pimped KTM Adventure 640. Cynthia has a stock Super Sherpa. The trip starts with 15 miles of paved road to the 555. Then it's seven days of dirt, forest and wilderness. We will climb up to the Deadwood and onward to Warm Lake. Destination for the day: McCall. We will meet with Ann and Mark and Pork Chop. Mark is on a KTM 950. Ann, another Super Sherpa but water cooled. Pork Chop -- I don't know.
Next morning its over Warren Wagon and Burgdorf and down French Creek to the Salmon River. Up and out of the canyon via Alison Creek and over to Hungry Ridge dropping into Golden Canyon on the S. Fk. Clearwater to Elk City. From there it's into the gap between the Selway Bitterroot wilderness and the Gospel Hump Wilderness -- the MacGruder Corridor.
The corridor will take us across the central mountains of Idaho and the Selway River. We will hit Montana and a brief bit of blacktop. A quick visit to civilisation to restock ourselves in Darby.
Here our route turns back south and down through painted rocks to Shoup on back to the Salmon River. We will head downstream a bit and turn up Panther Creek winding along the Big Horn Craigs. Our path follows the west side of the Salmon river mountains and The Frank Church Wilderness. A brief bit of blacktop in Challis and then up and over to Loon Creek and onward to Seafoam.
From Seafoam we will head to Bruce Meadows. We will complete the loop on the headwaters of the Deadwood River. Cynthia and I will turn south and back to GV. Ann, Mark and Pork Chop will continue on to McCall and New Meadows.
