Message: [QUOTE="bbbom, post: 766137, member: 16301"] Little Pend Oreille is a good ride. We usually do about 50 miles on it. For the most part it's a moderate trail system with some sections of difficult type stuff but Firecracker, myself and my son (even a couple years back) can handle it. There is some great scenery on it, especially Green Mountain - you break out on top to a huge flowery meadow. It's pretty fast (if you are fast) but mainly singletrack with some rocky, rooty tech. Batey Bould Trail System connects to LPO via the Connector Trail. Batey is a bit tighter and twistier with a few more advanced or technical sections. Again doable by myself, FC22 and my little boy (okay, so he's 11 now and a better rider than me BUT he's still my little boy!!!). We usually do a loop of the LPO system and the next day do a run from LPO over to Batey & back. The Connector Trail is fun, especially with it's spooky bridge where one of the stringers is broken and the deck is tipping towards the creek below. It's especially fun to watch the rider ahead of you go across knowing that you are next and may just be the chosen one that actually makes it collapse! Idaho has an abundance of tough trails. Many are pretty much goattrails along the rivers & cliffs and the scenery is amazing. We'll be at LPO for our annual Father's Day Weekend Campout. [/QUOTE]
