      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 •
      Connecting from Weitas Guard Station to 12 Mile Saddle at the Lolo Motorway, this trail literally follows Weitas Creek the whole way. A few miles after the Guard Station it got really brushy, but I would guess that changes year to year...

      • 80 ★ 4.4 • 14 miles • 4,761 ft • 4 •
      Mostly what you need to know is that this is an incredibly smooth intermediate trail surface with close to zero technical features. As an out-and-back from the river it's easy climbing and a super fun, high speed, never ending descent...
      • 100 ★ 5.0 • 19 miles • 3,262 ft • 4 •
      World class. Easy shuttle to Mush Saddle, or just ride the loop. Starts out with a 600’ descent down an ancient logging road to a reliable water source/creek crossing. Proceeds to climb a couple thousand feet through old growth...
      • 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...
