Boise Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Boise's Ridge to Rivers network puts hundreds of miles of trail right above downtown. Hulls Gulch, Table Rock, and Military Reserve climb the foothills on decomposed granite and silt that turn greasy and rut easily when wet, so the foothills famously close after rain, while Bogus Basin adds high-country singletrack. The well-drained trails ride much of the year; the clay-rich lower ones are the ones to watch.

When will the mountain bike trails in Boise dry out? It depends on recent rain and each trail's soil. The 10-day outlook on this page shows how many Boise trails are expected to be riding well each day, with rain markers, so you can pick the right day instead of guessing. See the 10-day outlook →
Is it too muddy to ride in Boise after rain? Right now 174 of 245 featured Boise trails are reading soft or too muddy to ride. Boise is mostly loam soil, which drains at a moderate pace, so after a storm some trails firm up within a day while others stay greasy. Riding wet, soft dirt damages trails and leaves ruts, so check the live mud reading on each trail before you head out. Check the live mud reading →
