Providence Canyon Road/Trail

Thanks to a tip from Bruce Copeland I was able to locate the Providence Canyon Singletrack Trail.  Yep, that's right.  A new (at least to me) trail to explore.  It took 2 extra crossings of the creek, some seriously wet feet, and a few dead ends, but I found the first half of the trail.  I say first half, because it took until Tues to find the other half.

Providence Canyon Trail

Day 2 of exploring up Providence Canyon.  Today I took the first section of singletrack (starts 1 mile up the canyon at the first wood fencing). 

Section 1 is .9 of a mile with a net gain of 300'

 

Section 2 is a faint trail next to the road for .25 with a net gain of 120'

 

Section 3 is on the other side of the road (North) .8 of a mile 400' gain.

Total is pretty much 2 miles even of technical trail.  If green canyon is for beginners, this is intermediate for sure.  Love it.

Past the end of the trail is the Quarry.  I went as far up the road past the quarry as the snow would let me (it wasn't far) before turning around and blasting down the trail.

Long Mountain Bike Ride - 

Sad I didn't get to run Pocatello today, but did enjoy a great ride in the light rain/mist.  I pieced some good trails together.  House to Providence along Deer Fence to Dry.  Down Mountain Road cutting over to the Sumac shortcut.  Up the river trail to Spring Hollow CG.  Back to the mouth and up BST to Green.  I ran out of time and only made it to the end of the first mile of singletrack before heading home via BST and Deer Fence.  Lots of vert today and this week in general.  Getting stronger...
