This is a fun little trail with some good flowing downhill. Lots of little roots and some low berms, just big enough to keep your speed up. The trail gets to a high point, then descends down to the Gumpy loop. If you just want a quick fun ride on your way out to Idaho or on your way to Teton pass, that is the best part of the trail. To do the loop, descend a bit down the rocky section, cross the road, and do the loop.

Nemo is groomed for fatbikes and snowshoes.

NOTE: This trail has been recently grandfathered into the Southern Valley Travel Plan and will be a part of a larger network of trails.

Access Info

Directly off Highway 33 at the Mike Harris Campground. The trail reroute now starts from the parking area.

      This trail is being rerouted and under construction. It’s rideable but a short section is unfinished. There are hoof holes from equine traffic in recent muddy conditions. Still a fun ride and the reroute will Be great!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
