Love this trail! The rock stairs just keep going and going, providing some great challenges. The sections after the rock stairs have some fun roots as well. But for me the stairs are what really got me excited, definitely more so than on any other trail in the area. That being said, if you don't really like super technical rock gardens, this trail probably won't be very fun for you

Best rock garden in SE Idaho for sure. Get ready to bushwhack your way down the trail to the rock garden. Shuttle up towards Kinport with a good 4WD vehicle with a lift and good tires for a fun downhill. Starts off steep with some quick turns to the rock garden and turns into flowy fun trail with little creeks and roots. Dirt is in good shape most of summer with the shade and creek flowing next to it. One of the best rides in Pocatello hands down!
