Father's Day Weekend @ St Anthony Idaho Ride

[boosted96cobra]

My wife asked me yesterday what I wanted for Fathers day, I said a dune trip to St Anthony.

Anyone up for a weekend riding the baddest dunes known to man?

Wow!-boosted96cobra, I never knew dunes where so close. My budy in Great Falls MT., posted me you're thread. I got excited, it's almost do-able. We as a family don't have any race bikes just mostly utility trikes, but my kids would have a blast if there is a small area that is family orientated. I'm a single dad with two, what a fathers day gift this would be. The Rocky Mountains with timber fall and rough trails would suffer in comparision to big stretches of sand. Thanks for the post.

Looking forward to making it there even if I don't get my trike by fathers day the CR125 is ready and the Fully caged ranger needs the sand!!!

Ya last year my brothers made the trip done from Havre Montana and had a blast.

Don't get me wrong there is some huge dunes and bowls at St Anthony, but you guys could ride what you have in your sig for days out there. My son has ridden from one side to theother and back on his tri - zinger, my daughter did ok on her 125m also. The only bike I have seen struggle was a POS chinese 200 and it had rock hard bald tires, no ground clearance and a swinger than was so heavy I have no idea why it was ever but on a quad.



Looking at this map, basically anything to the right of crapos hill, you can ride on with the smaller bikes. the red trails are called the "Highway" and you should be able to get around most of it that way. This is an older map but we camp at Oasis and it is halfway between egin lake and millers pond.
You will find alot of this stuff on this side (the right side of the map):

This is Choke, at the far other end, the steepest and second biggest dune there:

This is also choke but notice the trail going to it:


There is even ways to get to the big stuff if you choose. These trails are a riot, some woops, banks, burms, sand rocks ect.
