Today we rode to the foothills of Boise to hike. The ride was only about 54 miles total, and the walk about 4 miles. There is sooo much you see on these trips. I rarely remember some interesting things until later. Yesterday, I saw to Bald Eagles on the ride. I also saw the damage caused by a forest fire, and the renewed growth coming in.

On today's walk I saw several chipmunks, and ground squirrels. I took some video of the walk, the scenery, and some flowers for the nature or lady folks. We hiked at a ski resort that has hiking and mountain bike trails. The road there was maybe ten miles, but loaded with twisties and sweepers. The roads out here are more challenging then the Dragon at deals gap, and may be as numerous in turns. This area is loaded with great motorcycling roads, both paved and unpaved.

Here are a few of today's videos.

Last flower video for the ladies!

The ride back from the hike. Great twisty road with several elevation changes. Had to watch for the sand and rocks. Had the front end slip a little on some sand patches. It gets your attention, but the tires regain grip in an instant.
