- Sunday July 6th
- Elk Meadows / Deer Point Trail at Bogus Basin Ski Resort near Boise ID
- Approx 7 miles, probably 1K elevation gain. Well maintained (new) trails, except 92/Shindig, which was a bit more of an adventure.
- Several Trail markers were missing or mislabeled. This is common on mountain biking trails and is “part of the fun”. A wrong turn here means hours of suffering and the possibility of never finding your way back to civilization:
- Alonna hikes back from taking the wrong turn:
- Varied and interesting wildflowers everywhere:
- Also lots of butterflies and bumble bees (not pictured).
- Never really saw any people, except for two bikers headed the wrong way at the aforementioned fork in the trail.
- Not much shade, probably because we were criss-crossing ski runs.
