Buffalo River Campground
I think we went at the perfect time. The mosquitoes weren't too bad. The river was high enough to keep even our canoe moving and the water was nice and warm (for a river). The float went a little fast for some of us so we paddled back upstream and came back down again. We even saw a blue heron land and take off along the shore.

Tear Drop Lake
We got eaten alive by the mosquitoes and eventually rained out entirely but in between all of that we had a blast! The kids loved the river and my 5 year old who just learned to ride a bike without training wheels went around and around the lake and rode sections of it so many more times. There were so many people there with kayaks but it never felt crowded. We camped a little further in at a spot that was harder to get to but it was pretty great back there. We kind of had a private beach, just without sand. I would definitely come back but with more bugspray.

Webster's Dam
We took the whole family to finish off our Memorial Day. We started at 7pm with 6 kids ranging from 5 months to 12 years. Of course we carried the 5 month old but all the others walked, including the 3 and 5 year old. We were all fairly tired when we returned to our vehicle at 9:30pm but everybody really enjoyed it and were able to do it just fine. We were pretty cautious of the kids near the dam as the water was running pretty strong. My wife and I liked the whole experience a lot more than we thought we would. We look forward to returning on our mountain bikes and hiking it again in the fall for the fall colors.

Stinking Springs
I just came down from the ridge to Sidewinder on my mountain bike but that section was easily my favorite part of the ride. The corners had high berms and the rock rolls were almost too much fun. I think there were easier lines that could have been taken around or through them but it was a great bit of tech to add to the ride. I wish I would have continued down this trail rather than cutting off to Sidewinder.

String Lake
Came here with the family and did the loop hike. The loop itself was beautiful but didn't exactly blow me away. The portage to Leigh Lake really did it for me. The views of Moran towering over Leigh Lake were awesome. Then against everything I thought to be good judgement, we decided to swim in this glacier lake at 6pm. Now I wish we'd had a lot more time to swim there because it was actually about as perfect of a family swimming hole as you can get. My older kids were able to get out and play in the deeper stuff while still being close enough to yell at and my younger kids had tons of room to wade around and the water wasn't too cold at all. String Lake now goes on my favorites list.

Pintler Falls
Great little short hike. Tons of mosquitos this time but when there's not, there's so much to do. Other times, we've played in the little slow waters on the side, climbed up above the Falls, and even climbed behind the falls. Water was pretty high this time as well.

Pintler Lake Campground and Picnic Area
I wish more campgrounds were still like this. It's got the basics like fire rings, picnic tables, and a vault toilet but not much else other than a ton of nature. We kayaked, canoes, spotted fish, caught frogs, rode bikes and ATVs, went to the Falls down the road, and just enjoyed being together in camp. The mosquitos were a little heavy but not enough to dampen the mood. What a great camp!

Fall Creek Falls
Not much of a hike but an awesome view, especially in the fall. It's a great viewpoint for all the colorful trees along the river and the Falls are one of those "Holy Cow, how have I never seen this before?!?!" kind of things. The falls are big and beautiful.

Yellowstone Branch Line Trail
I can't recommend the first 40 miles of this trail but the last 7 or so were fantastic! The first 40 definitely had their moments and we definitely saw some beautiful scenery but wow, Holy sand!

Randy's Cow Trail / Ken's Corner
This is a pretty fun section. It's an easy climb and a pretty tight and twisty decent.

Darby Wind Cave
It was really hot but not so hot as the lowlands, I guess. We took 4 11 year old scouts. It was pretty tough for them. A lot of that may have been the heat. The creek coming out of the cave still had water but not a ton. The waterfall below the cave was just a little more than a good shower. We weren't able to see it from the trail. The wildflowers in the meadow were huge and beautiful and the creek was VERY easy to cross to get into the cave.

Twin Bridges
The water was a pretty good level for decent swimmers to jump. The rocks below weren't exposed but the sandbar above the bridge was.

Table Rock / Table Mountain
Snow started somewhere around 9500 feet but it's just little patches of snow across the trail until about 10,000 feet where there are large snow fields to cross. We went up and down the face trail after hearing reports that about 0.5 mile of Huckleberry was covered with snow and downed trees from an avalanche. When we first reached the summit, it was encompassed by a thick cloud and all we saw was white everywhere. Luckily we didn't get the snow and rain that were predicted and though we never saw the Grand, at least the clouds cleared up enough for us to see to the West. My 8 and 10 year old kids wore tennis shoes and had to change socks and use some bread bags and still had cold feet but all in all handled it pretty well.

Old Ranger
Ok. I know a lot of riders that would not have struggled with this but it was stinking tough. We walked maybe 1/4-1/3 of the time and the two really steep climbs were insanely steep. I love this trail though. It makes me want to get in better shape so I can ride more and walk less. There are several climbs and drops but the drop on the East side was pretty hairy. It was all I could do to keep my rear wheel planted. Once you get over the first big hump (going West), there's quite a bit of great flowy singletrack. Some of it is pretty deep and skinny but not too bad. We finished out down Wolverine Canyon which is great. The creek was pretty hard though so we had to carry/push the bike across rather than riding through it. It's totally jumpable though if you pick the right line.

Bear Gulch
We had a great time and even went all the way down to the creek once. There were only a couple of families there so it was easy enough to share the one run. I imagine it wouldn't take much for it to be too crowded though. We went later in the afternoon so it was pretty icy. It looked like you could probably start much higher up when there's powder.

Mountain Ranch Bike Park
This gets a 5 rating for what it is. They've really put a lot into this and it's surprising quality. I felt like the trail ratings were a little off. I found the intermediate to be much more difficult than the advanced. On the jump track, the jumps are surprisingly uneven. If you hit all the jumps relatively the same, you'd either come up short on some or huck to flat on others. Once you figure out all the jumps, they're pretty great. The downhill trails were a lot of fun with great flow. I took kids 5-12 years old. All of them loved it, just different parts.

City Creek
Wow! What a crazy time. We went after it had rained and was beginning to snow. Not soupy mud but pretty slick. I was glad we had rented some ebikes from Bill's Bike and Run in Idaho Falls. That sure made it easier. It was still a little too much mud so it was a one run day. I was super impressed with the trail network though. It totally reminded me of a ski hill without a lift. I will definitely be back when there's better weather.

Sidewinder Trail
I have to admit, I went because this is the only nearby trail that was in good condition at the time. I really enjoyed it though. It was a little more of a climb than I expected but I also haven't been riding in awhile so that one's probably on me. Both the weather and trail were in great condition though. No dust and no mud, at least until we connected to the Stinking Springs trail. There was a lot of really slippery clay mud there. I expected more of the switchback corners to have better berms for sure. I had to do a lot of braking to make the corners. All in all though, I'd say it was a pretty good trail and I had a great time.
UPDATE 10/11/2019: The berms are much better dug out but the corners are still tight and still warrant more braking than I would like.

Darby Wind Cave
We took 12 children between the ages of 2 months and 11 years. There were 6 adults, 4 of which carried kids. It seemed like more elevation this time due to the kid carrying part. The water was still really high because of the heavy winter so we weren't able to get into the caves but that also meant there was still water at Darby Creek Falls. That was probably the most enjoyable part of the hike for the kids. The falls underneath the caves were also spectacular though.

7/6/17 10:09 pmThis place was packed! There were so many people here. The grass above the beach was pretty tightly covered with sportbrellas and canopies. The beach and water were just full of kids. Even with all of that though, it was akin to an uncrowded pool. I only bumped into somebody else like twice. I didn't have to wait to jump off the dock and hardly had to wait to go on the slide. The water could not have been a better temperature. It was cool but not to the point that it makes you shiver, just feels good. The docks were easily my favorite part and it's super deep where they are so you can dive down a long ways without much concern. I was glad we brought inner tubes. They really added to it.

Monkey Rock
I was very pleasantly surprised how much fun we had. We took 6 kids between the ages of 2 and 15 and everybody had a great time. We just played around the falls (no bridge jumping). The water never got above my chest and had harly any current. In fact, a pretty large portion of it had almost no current. There were probably about 50 people but it didn't feel crowded at all. We were glad we had a float you for the little kids. Then everybody loved it.

Packsaddle Lake
We made it most of the way up the road in our mini van but it took some creative driving over some of it. About 0.4 miles from the trailhead, the road takes a steep turn uphill and then the road gets really washed out. It's probably not a big deal in a pickup but we just used the parking spot right at that corner. The trail was pretty steep but the switchbacks made it doable and everybody handled it okay. The mosquitoes were horrible at the top of the trail but down by the lake they really weren't too bad. The water wasn't too cold but it was a little lower than expected so you had to make sure you swung out on the rope far enough. I was sad to see the jumping log was gone. I wish we would have thought to bring a float toy. We borrowed one and had a great time floating with the kids out on the lake.

Mesa Falls
Took the trail down to the Lower Falls for the first time. It's an easy trail for sure and it was fun seeing the falls from so much closer.

Fifth Water Hot Springs
This was a pretty easy hike for the most part, although it does have a little bit of elevation, mostly just a couple of steep parts. My kids claim to have counted 11 snakes which seems about right. There really were a lot up there. I think only one that we saw was a rattlesnake and it was a ways off. Somebody told us to continue past the falls to the upper pools. It was nice up there and I'm glad we saw it but I wish we would have spent more time at the pools by the falls. The upper pools were a great soaking spot but there was a lot more of a playing area for the kids at the falls. We took turns going back behind the falls which was great.

40 Horse Cave
Wolverine canyon is beautiful and the rock formations are really cool. We took the shale trail up. It was really steep and my wife and kids slipped around a lot. Even with good hiking boots, I slipped quite a bit as well. We played in the cave for at least 30 minutes and the kids could have stayed quite a bit longer in the different parts of the cave. We took the West trail down and it was much easier. There was still some slipping but much more doable and much of the trail wasn't bad at all. I was amazed to realize how short it was because of the difficulty of the climb. We saw some rock chucks and the kids enjoyed playing in the creek. The cave and trail on the other side was fun as well.

North Menan Butte ('R' Mountain)
This hike changed for me on Saturday. Sometimes I think we're just looking for different things. I took three kids on Saturday, ages 4,7, and 9. We walked up and around the rim. We took almost 5 hours and it was all just a ton of fun for them and I find plenty of it interesting and beautiful as well. We spent hours checking out what seemed like it had to be ALL of the caves and climbing on seemingly EVERY rock. I don't know how I never noticed all the cool caves before. The rock up around the ampitheater is really cool, kind of like Moab slick rock. The views of the valley were just gorgeous. There was a guy running laps around the rim. That seems like that would be a great trail run.

5/9/17 11:40 pmWent here tonight with my 7 year old son and our Wal-Mart bikes. They actually handled the course pretty well. It's obvious the course is still in the beginning stages but that was perfect for us. We sure had a blast. This may become a regular workout.

Claire Boyle Skatepark
I took 3 kids under the age of 9. When I've been before there hasn't been hardly anybody else there. This time it was pretty packed for the small park it is, I'd say about 20 people. I was pretty impressed at how freely everybody used the park though. Only the four year old really had issues getting in the way. My older kids had some issue on their skateboard and rollerblades (not exactly pros) but once they got on their bikes it was great. Everybody there was great to work around kids and didn't even seem frustrated by it. There were other young kids on bikes as well.

Shoshone Falls Park
We took the kids while it's still really high water levels. It was incredible. We were there about 11am and it was just perfect for a rainbow along the canyon. It was really packed, the line of cars was long and parking was difficult to find. I'm guessing all that is because of the high water levels. When we left just before noon, the line of cars was way longer. The waterfalls were absolutely incredible though. Everything was pretty wet up by the platforms as we were getting a mist the whole time. It was great to see it at high water levels. We'll have to go back and see it "normal" another time.

11/9/16 3:49 pmPlayed here last weekend. It was my first time coming in the fall. There's obviously much less cover than the spring or summer but it's dry and easy to navigate which was definitely a plus over the spring. The crossing was super easy, even considering all the gear we carried over.

Conant Creek Pegram Truss Railroad Bridge
This is always a quick favorite. We go out and walk on the bridge right over the creek, and try to throw a rock into the creek. It's so far down which makes it pretty tough. We often see wildlife but not this time.

This is one of those places we have to take anyone who visits from out of town. It's quick, easy, and breathtaking. There were very few others here when we went in November but we did go just after the lodge closed as well.

Spencer Hot Springs
We didn't do much more than dangle our feet in the water a little bit. It's kind of a cool spot out in the desert but just felt a little gross. It was probably just perception though. The pools are all quite a ways apart and it was awkward when we drove up to one and the people in it would feel like they needed to leave.
Reply
Mist Trail
We definitely didn't give much credit to the elevation gain in what seemed like it would be an easy 3 mile round trip to Vernal Falls. My wife was newly pregnant and it gave her a run for her money. We ended up going all the way to the base Nevada Falls. We were there in October and these were the only falls that still had water. There wasn't much as far as mist because of the low water but it was still very beautiful. There were still a lot of people up to the top of Vernal but after that it cleared up a lot. It never felt too crowded per se but it was really nice to be more alone between Vernal and Nevada Falls.

Battery Spencer
We found the battery by accident just looking for a place to park for the night. You can't ask for a better view of the bridge and bay and the battery itself is pretty cool. There's a fair amount of vandalism on the buildings and placards but still pretty interesting. There's a placard out by the viewpoint that has some information about the bridge as well.

Muir Woods National Monument
These trees are spectacular. We went on a Wednesday morning and there weren't a lot of people. It was a little chilly but just perfect with a jacket. It doesn't get too much sunlight with that kind of a canopy though. I was impressed with the reverent feeling that was there in those woods. Much of the time, it felt off just to speak above a whisper.

We just went and enjoyed the beach but it was great. It was a cooler weekday so there weren't a ton of people. It was just really nice. They've done a lot to make this a great recreation area.

Little Jamaica aka Desert Springs
I just went there for the first time. Getting down in there is pretty interesting. There's not much of a trail but it is easy to find if you follow the sound of the falls. It was a little tricky to figure out how to get down to it but the rope was super easy once we'd found that. It's just on the North side of the pools/falls. There was quite a bit of garbage around the pool and trail but thankfully the pool was pretty clean. The pool itself is absolutely beautiful. I love the hanging gardens and the grotto. The water wasn't really warm. I thought it was the perfect temperature. It didn't give chills or anything when you got in. It was just the perfect cool down for a desert oasis.

This was a great quick hike for my pregnant wife. It allows you to see some of the types of things you might have to hike a lot further for on another trail. It was definitely but hey, it's Zion.

Riverside Walk
This is a beautiful walk but there were tons of people when we went. The hanging gardens were really cool. We saw a very large tarantula on our way out. He was just chilling (or basking) on a large rock along the trail. It was kind of fun to see everybody getting excited and taking pictures with a spider.

Emerald Pools Trail
We hiked the lower pools starting from the lodge. The trail was easy enough for my pregnant wife. We saw a snake in the grass near the trail on the way there, probably a garter snake. He was just a little guy too. We saw a few lizards near the pools. It may have just been the time of year that we went but I thought the waterfall and the hanging gardens were the highlight. I wasn't too impressed with the pool. We went back on the Kayenta trail which had a lot more elevation than we were planning on. We had to take that one a little slower. The view was great but we were going back in the middle of the day and the sun was just baking that trail. I imagine it would be great earlier in the day when the sun isn't quite up over the canyon, yet. Also, if we would have known what it was, we probably would not have gone to the Weeping Rock as the hanging gardens were very similar.

Horseshoe Lake
I've been here before but it's not one of my favorite swim spots off the shore. Its a pretty good spot for little kids and it's a fun place for kayaks, canoes, and innertubes though. This time we went out to the docks which is quite a swim. I'd recommend a kayak or something to get there if you're not a very strong swimmer. Despite the wind, we had a blast jumping off the dock in the middle of the lake.

Darby Wind Cave
This is a pretty easy grade kind of hike with a beautiful view the whole time. You do gain some pretty good elevation though. The trail goes through the bottom of the canyon then switchbacks up the side where you can see down the whole canyon. Early in the year there's a really cool waterfall before the base camp. It was totally dry when we went but that made for a pretty cool overhang. There was still just enough water coming down by the cave to have a beautiful stream and waterfall below. There were some people rapelling down right next to the lower waterfall and another guy bouldering up the wall just inside. I didn't see any anchors but I wasn't really looking at the time. It seems like you can't go wrong that close to the Tetons. It was awesome.

Middle Teton
This has to be my favorite hike so far (a title previously held by Table Rock for a long time). It's just beautiful the entire way even when its super foggy. There's the beautiful forest, then the rocky canyon with plenty of greenery of it's own, then there's the amazing view above. We started at about 4am, took it pretty easy, and sumitted just before noon. I highly recommend starting early in the morning on this one. Getting up that early was a weird twist of fate for us but I'd definitely do it again.

Palisades Creek Trail / Lakes and Waterfall Canyon
It was a pretty easy hike into the lower lake with some great views. The trail was well maintained. We didn't see a ton of wildlife on the trail but there was a bull moose hanging out in the lake having lunch. There were several kinds of waterfowl hanging out with him as well. The lake itself was beautiful.

Harriman State Park
Harriman is very beautiful and there are a lot of trail options, many of which a pretty flat and there is almost something beautiful to look at. It was great for a family nature walk but I think I'll need to head up one of the higher trails next time. I'd really like to come in the early morning during elk rut to see the fall colors and hear (and hopefully see) the elk.

Twin Bridges
We've been going here for awhile now. It's a family favorite. Last week, we did some diving and checked out the remains of an old car that was supposedly washed in during the flood. It's just downstream of the rock damn on the north side. You can see the chrome bumper from the rocks. It's not very far down when the water is low like it is now.
UPDATE: I found out the car went in the river because of a car accident and then just got washed downstream a little.

6/20/16 5:38 pmThis is a fun little path. The kids love to count the lizards. I believe the last time, they counted 9. It's great for what it is. I don't think I saw a single piece of garbage along the way either.

Jenny Lake Trail
We just took this trail over Memorial Day weekend. I was pleasantly surprised that it never felt overpacked. The 5 mile roundtrip to the overlook above the falls is pretty easy going, even for our 3, 6, and 8 year old kids though the youngest one did get carried a little. We saw plenty of chipmunks and one or two yellow bellied marmots. One marmot was on the way up and one was on the way back so I don't know if it was the same or not. Other hikers near our group saw a bear near the Ampitheater Lake trail junction and others saw a moose near the Moose ponds. I was initially a little disappointed to find the lesser access to the falls but was glad we didn't know because we might not have come. It was the perfect hike, regardless.

This is a beautiful hike and a great one to run. I came up later than the rest of my group and had to catch up. The ups and downs were great. I'm not a real trail runner but it wasn't too bad to run the downs and walk the ups. It would have been great if I would have realized it was 4.5 miles in rather than the 2-3 that I thought it was. The lake was pretty muddy but still great. Rock Creek was pretty cool as was the outlet. I walked to the other side to look out the North end of the range. The forest North of the lake was actually really refreshing.

5/30/15 8:52 amWe've done this hike before but we hiked it last weekend and the overlook trail totally changed it for me. The extra 1/2 mile to the summit made it more of a hike and the view from the top was incredible. Our 7 and 5 year olds had no problem but it was a little steep in places. Strongly recommend.

I have to say, my expectations were pretty low for a trail right off the highway. Maybe May is just the right time to catch it but the river walk was just beautiful. I was very pleasantly surprised. We just went to to statue and back and it made for a great walk for our date.

Bighole Mountains / Moody
I played here for my first time on Saturday. The boundaries were great. We had to establish a SW boundary to separate the field from our base camp but we didn't have any problems with that. There are definitely areas that are more sparse than others but I was surprised how easy it was to use even skinny trees for line of sight cover. You'll want a good signal system to start and stop your games though. We had a disposable air horn and you couldn't always hear it on the other side of the field.

We love coming here. This time we took our bikes along the path along the river. My 5 year old son loved reading all the placards which made good resting points along the way. The river here is so clear and beautiful and they've done a lot to keep it pristine. The path is not for bikes. We saw that sign on our way out. Oops! I'm sure it would be just as great walking, especially if the bikes stay off the path ;)

Rattle Rock / The Gauntlet
I went and walked the field a week ago. There was a fire a year ago so almost all of the sagebrush is gone. Also, a lot of the rock walls are knocked over. You could probably still play there just fine but it's a far cry from the field it was. If somebody wanted to put in about 10 man hours worth with some fairly tough individuals, I think it could probably be fixed up pretty easy.

4/2/14 10:13 pmI've played here a ton. It's a lot different than most of the playing in the woods you find around here but it's a great course. It's a little like combining bouldering and paintball. It's the most built-up field I've played around here. I've never seen a rattlesnake at the field but the guys I play with have seen quite a few.

Took my 3 kids ages 1-6. It was hikable enough for them but pretty tough. Perfect steepness though. There were two other groups when we were there but the hill was still wide open. It's the perfect hill if you don't want to go very far.

This hike is a beast not for the faint of heart. Chicken out ridge isn't super technical but there's a lot of exposure so it can be pretty scary. This isn't your lush green beautiful hike. The treeline comes pretty quickly and then it's just rock for a long ways. We only sunscreened at the bottom and we paid dearly for it. The view at the top is pretty sweet and the red rock mountains are pretty cool as well.

This place is great. If we go with teens and adults, it's great for jumping and if we go with kids, it's great for wading, floating, or light swimming. The little rope swing underneath seems to be a favorite of little kids as well.

With breaks, we made the summit in about 40 minutes. The trail was pretty unclear at times but most of the time, you couldn't tell the difference anyway. Many in our group slipped quite a bit. Shoes with a good grip are pretty important.

6/16/13 10:56 pmThis was an awesome hike for a small family. It's very short and easy and the views of the Snake River Valley were amazing. We loved how the trail takes you back and forth between the arid desert and the more moisture rich area by the stream. The plaques were simple and informative. I think it would be a great little field trip hike.

I love the boardwarks. The hike was beautiful as was the beach. My kids had so much fun playing in the tidepools. There was some kind of mite or something that just ate my 1 year old as soon as he went in the water at all so we didn't play in the waves or anything. Good thing there were plenty of crabs to catch, sea creatures to admire, and places to explore.

A few years ago, we took our two kids ages 2.5 and 6 months. It's not really a spelunking experience but it was a great family hike kind of thing. The kids mostly rode in packs on our backs but our 2 year old got off and walked without any problem. We found some boulders about halfway in the south tube (right side) for a little picnic. We were even able to take the kids through quite a bit of the tighter portion at the end. We were the only ones there and we had a lot of fun.

I hiked this too many years ago to remember any details. I remember there were plenty of huckleberries on the way up and I got to the top well before the rest of my group so I had plenty of time to sit and enjoy the magnificent view. A storm came in just a little while after we summitted so we had to beat a speedy retreat through probably one of the worst hailstorms in that region for a long time. Luckily, we were above the worst of it. This was my first real summit. I plan to do this one again someday.
