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.
