Trail Description:
To start, head to the junction by the Idaho City school, turn left and follow the signs to Centerville. The pavement ends and becomes USFS road #307 (dirt road). You will climb up the wash-board prone road for roughly 3.5 miles to a summit. Keep your eyes peeled for the sign that says "land fill" and turn left at the sign. Follow the road for about 100 feet or so and look for a yellow caution sign on one of the pine trees. The single track starts here and descends 1.5 miles through a Charcoal Gulch. Stay on the main trail and watch out for other trail users. The trail runs into a dirt road at mile 5. Turn left and spin back to town. You will ride past the local airport after a .5 mile and then you will hit the town in another .5 mile.
How to get there:
Take Idaho 21 out of Boise, heading east to Idaho City. Park at the Visitor's Center, the school or somewhere in town.

This is no beginner trail. While the climb, and the first half of the descent are pretty easy, it sports a lot of rutted single track. Also there is a seriously steep 20 foot drop at the end of the trail with a pretty good size tree on the right side of the base. A buddy and I took a true beginner on this trail, and he had two serious yard sales (should have told him how to ride-out deep ruts I guess). This is a good, short trail, and traffic is usually very light.

5/26/00The trail at the top of the road is not there any more. There is no yellow caution sign on any of the pine trees. A huge climb just to come back down the dirt/gravel road. Not worth it. Idaho City, though was very worth the drive. It's the only reason I rated it a 2 and not a 1.
