It has been a long winter and we’re looking forward to spring riding and that could include a trek on the off-road bike tour of Idaho’s hot springs. The Adventure Cycling Association has released a set of maps and guides for a 518-mile off-pavement ride on this route, which includes singletrack options. The route passes by more than 50 hot springs, including some that are commercialized and others that are undeveloped.
The Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route is offered as a two-map set, with the first map section featuring the main, off-pavement route — a loop route that primarily follows dirt roads for 518 miles, with a few stretches of pavement in the mix. The second map set covers the four singletrack options, and some sections are expert-only riding or hike-a-biking for those who aren’t experts.
