Meeting spot: Oregon Trail trailhead Oregon Trail Trailhead-Ada County

https://goo.gl/maps/oqyspR6phuY37vuD6

Plan: Be ready to leave this parking spot by 9AM!  Arrive early enough to form carpools. Bring plenty of water, snacks and lunch.Poles are advised since there is a bit of scrambling over large rocks, fallen trees, etc. This is a full day hike. Some might want to stop in Idaho City afterwards, but those arrangements can be made among the various car pools.

Because this is approximately 7.5 miles (round trip), we will break into two groups: “fast” and “not as fast”.

Request: I’m looking for a volunteer who knows this trail. to lead the "faster" group. I will be leading the “not as fast” group, but would like another volunteer to sweep this second group. If interested, please call or text me at 208-891-3146.

Please note: If you don’t think you can do at least a total of 5 miles at a moderate pace of this hike, please make prior arrangements to have a buddy go back with you to the trailhead. It is an easy out- and-back trail. Even doing a shorter distance will be beautiful along the river.

Email me if you have any questions:

The Crooked River trail is off the Edna Creek turn off, approximately 18 miles above Idaho City, off Highway 21.
