Idaho Hot Springs Intro

Picture yourself cruising into camp, thoroughly gassed but still blissed out by a mountain bike trail that truly took your measure. Before you can kick off your cycling shoes, you’re led to a freshly prepared, scrumptious dinner. Beyond that multicourse fare, lay a cascading natural hot spring. Can you handle that truth: five days of fast if transfixing mountain bike rides, bookended by brilliant hot springs and wild rivers make up the deliverables, cut and shaped by the strong-featured Sawtooth Mountains.

We ride beneath the shadows of Greylock Mountain, cycling quick chutes through the Boise and Payette river backcountry. Like off-ramps to paradise, our course features stopovers at a succession of remote natural hot springs. Other highlights include a triad of noteworthy mining towns: Atlanta, Lowman, and Pine.

This tour merges kinder-gentler riding with soothing hot spring soaks. We’ve taken the best scenery, historic sights, and terrain from our classic Hot Springs tour, and made it accessible for beginning and intermediate riders. We take advantage of Idaho’s extensive network of jeep road and doubletrack so that van support can be available for riders to customize their rides. Mother Nature’s healing waters, forever sought by people the world over, await us each night, witnessed only by the starry constellations overhead.
