Mountain Biking In Ketchum

We returned to Ketchum this summer because the mountain biking is so great; and also, it's sort of on the way to where we're going the rest of the summer.

Muffy Ritz has been a wonderful tour guide for rides both on and off road. Yesterday we went over Galena Summit down to Stanley to ride the famous Fisher Creek Trail. The climb is mostly on a fire road. The descent was heavenly single track. The views were incredible.


Today we rode "Adams Gulch" which was especially challenging, including lots of stream crossings. The views at the summit were worth the suffering... and the wildflowers were incredible!
