TRACE THE MITTEN

Hiawatha Trail in Idaho

4/8/2024

Photos of this trail with tunnels and trestles always caught my attention and lead me to want to bike there.  A friend told me that he went on a Roads Scholar trip on this trail and others in the area.  I am concerned with my ability to handle the elevation.  I might be able to do it with an e-bike, but I am not sure.  During a trainer ride last week I followed along on a YouTube video that someone did.
Picture
The first tunnel was closed for safety reasons. Okay, I am good with that.
Picture
Railroad grades are good for me to ride, the elevation is 2188'. I could probably handle it.
Picture
These tunnels are longer than what I am used to. Bring a headlamp.
Picture
A nice wide path to stop to take a photo and enjoy the pine forest.
Picture
There is a fee to ride the trail and there are shuttles to take you back to your car.
There are several videos of riders doing the trail.  I enjoyed this ride and I will look further into this trip through Road Scholar.
