This is Wade writing this post so there's not any confusion. So anyways my older brother lives in China and he was in Mud Lake, Idaho at my parents house. When all of our family gets together we do a lot of sitting around so my little brother, Tom Siddoway, and I decided in advance to bring up our bikes. Since we didn't get into mountain biking until we moved to Utah, we had no idea where to go because it seems like nobody in Southeast Idaho mountain bikes.
So we had to do some research and after what had seemed like a good day until we found a place that was all single track. We found this website that had trails for the Teton Valley-Teton Valley Bike trails.I grew up coming to these mountains every summer because this is where my dad's sheep range was and in my opinion this is the prettiest mountain country you will find anywhere in the world.
We decided to do Horseshoe canyon. It was closest and there are many trails to chose from. So after getting up there and assessing the terrain and weather, we decide to do the out n' back Horseshoe Creek South Fork because it was starting to get hot and it provided lots of shade because of the thick pine trees.
Probably not the best idea to ride the shady stuff 2 days after a heavy rain storm. Lets say we got pretty muddy in some spots but was some friggn' awesome singletrack. The trail was well maintained (It would have been even more pleasant if it was dry!). Second provided a good workout because of the good steady climb some technical sections with big thick tree roots. Downhill was even better, wide radius banked switch backs allowed you to keep up your speed. The trail is in a canyon most of the way but opens to some sweet views near the top.
