Single track and hot springs, Smokey Bar Idaho!
An early June ride out of Smokey Bar Idaho. I explore a beautiful valley I saw the previous day, check out two different hot springs, and ride Lick Creek trail!

A ride to Tip Top Mine!
zhlédnutí 526Před dnem
On June 16th 2024 I took a ride up into the backcountry looking for a mine. I was told it was elusive and a challenge to reach. This video documents my adventure exploring remote Idaho.
First ride in Idaho of the 2024 summer season!

We arrived in the mountains of Idaho on June 14th 2024 and immediately greeted with a summer snow storm! I attempted to sneak in a “get your bearings” ride in between blizzards but got snowed on during both attempts!

We camped and rode for two days in early June as we worked our way to Idaho for the summer. Hartman Rocks is one of our favorite Colorado camp/ride packages!
Early season Star Trail, Taylor Perk Colorado!
zhlédnutí 293Před měsícem
On June 11th 2024 I camped in Taylor Park and rode Star Trail, Matchless Trail, and Doctor Park Trail and ran into snow on each of them. I expected snow being such early but this was what my schedule permitted as I was traveling through on my way to Idaho for the summer.

That's some serious color saturation edit!
@@forestman9205 over the top in fact! Thanks for watchin 🫶
What time of the season were you up there? Looks super green compared to when I was there in late July. Gnarly stuff up there!
@@code4performance we visited in early June. 6/12/24 in fact. Cause all the snow I don’t think I made it to the termination of the trail? I think it went up even higher? But yea it got chunky in places for sure. Thanks for watchin!
Great travelin van Mike! Good to meet you at Drunken Duck in Holly Hill. Cheers 👍🍺 Chris
@@kidguzzi_chrisgalardi right on and being able to sleep in my own bed every night really makes those long duration trips a lot more comfortable. Home is in fact where ya park it! Back at ya, thanks for watching!
Hey man, nice build! So I just picked up that same exact speedometer… have you had any issue with that little magnet flying off the wheel? Or did you add glue/epoxy to help? I’m afraid it’ll fly off…
@@jpoletes thanks and nope it’s a strong little booger! I was thinking similarly. Once in place you immediately feel how strong it is. Guessing some rare earth super magnet? But interesting enough the battery just died last month after 3.5 years Easy to replace but had to reset everything. And thanks for watching. This vid was a big departure from my channels usual content. Fun to make!
Great I’ll give it a try! I scrapped a little paint off the wheel to help a bit more. So I have the same bike and wheel size as yours… what did you set for wheel size on the unit? I can’t tell what measurement that is. I put 600 for six inch wheel but not sure.
@@jpoletes ok I can’t remember the exact variable but it’s based on the overall tire height not the wheel. I didn’t retain the direction and had to use their website to get back in the game. Good luck and even a few years after the build our mini is bringing us a lot of joy. Up to like almost 300 miles worth in fact!
I actually figured it out by trying different parameters and comparing to a gps speedo side by side. Seems 1.110 works with 145/70-6 tire. Anyways thanks and happy riding!
Very nice ! The vid looks so clear man! Maybe you went home already? Was wondering because you’ve mentioned heading out? Sad I missed ya that Day at Grumpy’s!! Maybe next time Bro! Happy Trails! Cheers!
I'm heading to Victor on Labor Day Weekend. Any chance you are around and want to ride?
Thanks so much for the invite, very kind of ya but I'm back in Florida😥. I've never mentioned it in my vids but I'm a college soccer coach and only summer out west. My window of opportunity is only June and July. I always have to be back to FL at the start of August for pre-season camp. Enjoy the braap that sure is a fun place to explore. And thanks for watchin, really appreciate it!
Soaked in Warwick and the first one you stopped at. We called it the "bathtub" LOL!!! As I always say man, what a fantastic place. Smokey Bar and that fork of the Boise River are some of my favorites!
OMG Chris when I pulled out the following day I took a few min to soak me feet to warm em up in that little bathtub. That entire area was so amazing. It was the most free I felt all trip and truly the stuff dreams are made of. Thanks for watchin pal, really appreciate it!
@mikecolesvids enjoyed it man. Glad you got to meet my buddy there in town. He's a lucky fellow to live at the base of those hills!
Fantastic spot!
Be safe out there brother! 🤙
Hah, we had to dig that same spot July 12th to make it through coming from the other direction.
@@BairdBoysAdventures it was a mile or so from the start of Paradise Creek from the Smokey Bar side. Full vid in 2 weeks. From our experience a very common ID feature. Some with higher consequences than others 🫶
A famous explorer looked outward and made a comment of "seeing a sea of mountains".
You may want to order a snow track for that 😁. We have a Tip Top Mine here too.
@@azdesertdog thanks for watching and I was shocked how well the machine hooked up in the snow. I think it was because it was just an overnight dumping and not frozen and embedded like in the winter? But as a native Floridian what the heck do I know about riding in snow??? I do know it was a lot of fun and one of the most exciting rides of the summer!
hi
@@huntergriffin-ms8hg hey pal, hope ya had a great summer and appreciate ya checking out the vid!
Awesome dude! Whatever made the tracks is guaranteed to eat humans for a snack!! Told you man! Views for days! My buddy's having some issues with goof balls on side by sides shredding up that trail. Maybe alter the title a bit so said goofballs won't find it as easy? I sure enjoyed it man. That spot where you said "how did they make it up here" Koty crashed out on and my buddy with the CT125 had an absolute fit making it up! But we made it!! Thanks for sharing my friend!
@@PSBEadventures thanks for watching it sure was one of the biggest adventures of the trip. And not surprised to hear about the SxS’s. I got to ride in a 1000cc $70,000 machine in Breckenridge CO on my way back home and it was a beast! You could feel it ripping up the trail. That and he absolutely flew. I wouldn’t want to be coming in the other direction and meet up with one! Riding in one was a true exercise in trust. The driver preferred it in 2wd so it would slide around more 😳
Tip Top up Bear Creek is on my short list of places to go! I didn’t make the trip a couple years ago due to the Ross Creek fire. Area was closed. Looks amazing and really nothing like I’d pictured it! Thanks for the re-con Mike! Could a guy drive past that first water crossing in a pickup and camp somewhere? I hate being wet
@@richardcabitto5108 thanks for watching and yea that creek was not as bad as I first thought. No real deep fast section it was just surprising to see it so spread out. It really expanded beyond the creek itself.
Love it !
Rad niceness
Great stuff Mike! Even a snowy ride beats the hell out of working! Love it!
Snow in June 😮
Sometimes in July too. It did on my wife’s birthday a couple time middle of July.
@@Nathan_Rave crazy right!!!! And Nate this was my all time favorite camp of the summer. Pretty much the ultimate camp ride package and checked every single box on our imaginary dream camp list! Thanks for watchin 🫶
@@ryanmxrdr8867 as a native Floridian I totally freak out when I see snow. Next weeks vid will be the following day where we ride up to 8,000 feet and you can guess what we run into! Thanks for watchin ✊😍
@@mikecolesvids we sometimes ride through the snow, I have slide down a 20ft snow cornice, ridden in full blown snow and rain storms before where we were completely drenched. The weather out here can change instantly on you. You see the jokes about all 4 season in one day, well that is definitely true here in Idaho in every season. When I was a kid, we had little bigger than golf ball sized hail come down on us on our way back from bear creek. They were huge and hurt. We all huddled under a tree for close to 35-40 mins of it.
Smoky bar is one heck of a place man! Yep! We did a bit of Miller Creek. There was a tree and a bit of a rock slide pretty early on. That trail really gains elevation quick too! It climbs all the way up to Salt bounds road I think up on the way to Soldier mountain! Was great to see familiar sites and really appreciate the shoutout my friend. Looking forward to the next one!
Would you be willing to give some camping recommendations for this area, or any other area near here? We will be there in a week and have a large camper, so we are hoping to stay close enough to the trails to ride to them. Thank you for the awesome videos!
@@workmanracingandadventures not sure I can offer much assistance cause the size of your setup. We’er pretty spoiled with the tight package of the van. All the trailheads up by the mountains are tight and primitive. We did see folks in bigger campers at The Big Eddy on the Teton Fiver in Driggs. But even that’s 3-5 miles from trail heads. Wood Canyon Campground near Victor has a trail across the street that provides an accessed to a broad network of trails. You can even see the trail on Google Earth! I appreciate ya taking the time to watch our vids. We sure do have a lot of fun, have a great trip!
@@mikecolesvids thanks so much for your help!
That looks really fun, it's on my list.
@@GasSoakedRag yea solid camp ride package for sure. I’d bet you’d be able to cover the entire area or all the good stuff in a single day. Cause the dog and the heat in the afternoon I broke it up into two morning rides. Thanks for watching. Tomorrow’s vid will be my first ride in Idaho!!!
Neat fun looking trails. Love the campsite in the low sun.
@@klnrgj01 you’re so right! I just grabbed that pix and made a new thumbnail with it, thanks for the inspiration and appreciate ya watching the vid!
I like the pace you ride at. Most riders think if they post a single track video it has to be at race pace.
@@kirknelson3020 thanks, as a solo operator in the backcountry I need to keep the speeds down to minimize risk.
Where is this
@@dylanschlauch236 Crested Butte CO, thanks for watchin!
Crazy how that deep snow will stop you dead in your tracks. I'd love to stop out there on the way to Idaho and check out that Oliver's cabin. That old mining history is something else out there! Thanks for sharing man
Well dawg gone it! Cool man! Literally COOL! Cheers And Thanks for showing it anyway!!!
Just stumbled across this video. I went this year and stayed in Whitter after the event.
Sumo style!! I like it!!
Nuff message bs Mike’! LUV this shtuff! Cheers!
Chevy LUV that is!! Cheers buddy!
Nice! This single is out by the claim?
I may have to visit BV! What campground?
@@237racing3 Ruby Mtn. CG. It’s part of the Arkansas River Recreation Area. Also at the entrance to 4Mile OHV!
Be out that way in a couple weeks. Rode there back in 2016 before they paved the pass. Wondered if it made it a lot more busy. Great video, only a dog can make a grown man talk like that. Got a old lady dog myself. Love bringing her along also. Good times, thanks for the video.
@@jsned2502 thanks for watchin and yea she’s a real sweetheart! More of a dog summer than dirt bike summer.
Great video Mike! Thanks for sharing! You are livin the life! 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸🏍
Old western mining history is right up my alley man!! Love it!!! I've spent a good bit of time exploring around the Gunnison Range. Mostly around Lake city etc. I need to get back out that way!!! Fantastic!!!
Balloons!! Yay!!!
Cool timelapse
@@Mighty_D2007 thanks we crew for the Flower Power Balloon at the Teton Vally Balloon Rally!
You don’t have to tilt the camera for the thumbnail
Where are you riding while you’re in ID? My son and I ran in to you last year at this time north of McCall. We will be up there riding the 11th to the 14th.
@@travass100 we were in McCall a week ago. Ran Looney Lake and Seseash River trail. Also took a pretty 70 mile dual Sport ride all the way to the Salmon River. Really neat to see! Enjoy the braaap!
That side hill rough on us southern boys
Dude! I’m with ya there! No thanks! Btw me and the dogs hiked about two miles up Rooks Cr. Yesterday. I’ve never ridden it but a number of years ago it was completely washed out and unridable through that whole section! I know you rode it so how was the rest heading up?
Yeah probably don't go in the bear den 😂
