Mountain Bike the Griffin Butte Loop

Ketchum, Idaho

Easily accessible from town, you can peddle right up to the trail. There is a small parking lot at the trailhead as well. This is one of those trails that are fantastic in either direction you choose to ride it. To jump right into the climbing uphill section and have a fun backend ride, hit it counterclockwise. This ride cuts the Adams Gulch Intermediate Loop in half. You can still get a to...

Hike to Prairie and Miner Lakes

Ketchum, Idaho

10 mi / 1975 ft gain

You hike two and a quarter miles, gaining roughly 500 ft of elevation to a fork i...

5 mi / 1400 ft gain

Starting at the Norton Lakes trailhead, travel up into the mountains through pine forest, with several small stream crossings (if you're going early in the summer, be prepared to wade). Although this trail packs on the elevation quickly, you're rewarded after just 2.1 miles with a view of beautiful Lower Norton Lake.While the lower lake is a satisfying destination in itself, be sure to go the e...
