Excellent snowshoeing trail network an hour drive from SE Boise. The Whoop um up loop trail was well marked. The parking lot was clean with space for several cars.
Epic trailhead access to Pilot Peak. Lots of snowshoe/snowmobile enthusiasts to watch out for around the immediate area.
Great snowshoeing trails! Pictured are from early February 2022
One of our favorite developed sites in the Boise National Forest. The roadside bathroom was pretty disgusting...needs repair and it was filled with mouse droppings!
