High School Mountain Biking League Information
In cooperation with NICA and Interscholastic Idaho Cycling league, a calendar has been created to highlight when/where high school mountain bike teams will be practicing. This resource allows other users to see upcoming practices in order to avoid those locations and times if they prefer.
Group Hiking Etiquette
The Ridge to Rivers trail system is a wonderful place to hike or run by yourself or with friends. The trails get a tremendous amount of use however, and can become quite congested at times. If you hike with, or are organizing a group hike or run, please consider adopting the following recommendations to help minimize your impact on other riders and hikers using the trails:
Hike or run in groups no larger than 10 or 12. If you have a larger number in your group, please consider splitting your group up and either leaving at different times or using different loops.
Group Mountain Ride Etiquette
The Ridge to Rivers trail system is a wonderful place to ride by yourself or with friends. The trails get a tremendous amount of use however, and can become quite congested at times. If you ride with, or are organizing a group ride, please consider adopting the following recommendations to help minimize your impact on other riders and hikers using the trails:
- Ride in groups no larger than 10 or 12. If you have a larger number of riders, please consider splitting your group up and either leaving at different times, or riding different loops.
- Standard mountain bike etiquette is for the downhill rider to yield to the uphill rider. However, imagine how many times a downhill rider will need to stop if she comes across a large group of uphill riders. When you are riding as part of a large group, circumstances such as this need to be factored in when you encounter other trail users. Please consider having your group yield to downhill riders, and remember to always yield to walkers and runners.
