Trail Description:
The Mink Creek Recreational Area offers several different trails, but the most popular is called "The Pump House." It's called that because the trail starts at the pump house. Go through the gate to the right of the pump house and over the bridge. Keep right and follow the jeep road up for 3.5 miles. Just beyond the top, follow the singletrack to the right. When you come out at the bottom, turn right and head back to your car.
How to get there:
From Pocatello take I-15 South to exit 63. Follow the signs for Mink Creek Recreational Area. Once you're on the main road in the recreation area, look for a pump house on the left. This is where the trail begins.
