The first miles of Weitas Creek Trail #20 is double track.
• 90 ★ 4.0 • 5 miles • 743 ft • 7 •
Lower Weitas Creek Trail from Johnny Creek to Weitas Bridge Near the Weitas Guard Station. Very well tended to for how far out it is. Fun trail, great fishing potential.
• 100 ★ 5.0 • 13 miles • 4,693 ft • 7 •
Great Idaho backcountry riding. Great dirt. Many view points. Great ridgeline riding. Never overly technical. Worth the hard climb and the drive. The trail is open to dirt bikes, but shows little damage from them.
• 5 ★ 4.0 • 21 miles • 3,929 ft • 5 •

• 5 ★ 4.0 • 17 miles • 4,510 ft • 4 •
Reopened to bikes on January 10, 2025. This is an incredible ridge and forest. A few loop options near Heart Lake, or a big shuttle with Fish Lake double track possibly, or out-and-back from Hoodoo Pass. North end meets Rd. No.250 at...
