Trail Detail

Boise Foothills ATV ride

The Boise Ridge ATV loop provides a nifty 26.5-mile tour of the Boise Foothills and the forested Boise Ridge Ridge. The route climbs to the top of the Boise Ridge, drops down to the Robie Creek area near Lucky Peak Reservoir, and then heads back to the ridge. The route is best ridden from a motorized recreation parking lot on N. 8th Street, 3 miles from the edge of town. Drive up to the parking area and fire up your ATV. Climb 8th Street to a T-junction at the Boise Ridge Road. Turn left and ride to Eagleson Summit. Turn right at the summit and descend to Crooked Summit on Forest Road #263. At Crooked Summit, go straight at a Y junction and ride downhill on Forest Road #261. At the junction with Robie Creek Road, take a hard right and ride to Aldape Summit. Turn right at the summit, and ride back to the 8th Street junction, and retrace your tracks to the parking area. You also can ride the loop starting from the end of pavement on Rocky Canyon Road. Be aware that you will encounter many different types of recreationists in the Boise Foothills – hikers, mountain bikers, motorcycle riders and horseback rider. Please use caution and go slow on blind corners.
