Spokane Valley

Welcome from Montana. Just retired myself and I don't live to far from the Spokane Valley (Missoula). Perhaps we can get together sometime and bang some hills.

Hello,
I'm Kevin from the Spokane Valley and just retired a couple of weeks ago. Now I'll have more time to go riding my 2018 Pioneer 700-4 Deluxe. I've made quite a few mods to my SXS to make it more 4 season comfortable.

Cheers,

Wow that’s a title I didn’t think I’d ever see here, from the Valley too but try not to tell too many. Guess it’s better then the West side lol.
Well neighbor, welcome to the forum and congratulations on the free time! I assume you ride in Idaho?

Hi,
I've camped in Darby a couple of times but without the SXS. I was hoping to get down there this year before the snow flies (with the SXS this time). I picked up a map at the ranger station there and it looks like there are lots of places to ride.

Regards,
Kevin

Hello,
I live just off Sullivan and 12th. I do quite a bit of riding along the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River. The second most frequented is the St. Joe river out of St Maries. I really like the ride from the BLM Huckleberry campground over to Marble Creek interpretive center. From the camp spot just past the bridge after Marble Creek (see picture) it's and easy ride along the river to Calder (downriver) or Avery (upriver). They are both about 7.5 miles and have cool eateries.

Cheers,
Kevin

I haven't done the Avery via Moon Pass route to Wallace yet but I sure want to I also ride often up the Middle Branch of Le Clerc Creek about 17 miles south of Ione WA. The East Branch will take you up to Petit Lake then down into Nordman ID.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hello,
What in particular would you like to know? The picture above was taken about 1/4 mile past the Marble Creek Interpretative Center. It's free dispersed camping. In the background on the other side of the bridge is a road maintenance yard. that dirt road will take you to the town of Avery all along the river. In the springtime there are waterfalls every couple of hundred yards cascading down the steep hillside into the river.

On the North Fork I like to stay at a dispersed spot 2.8 miles past the Devils Elbow campground. It's just a few feet from the river.

I’ve got makeup classes next weekend. But we aren’t running 6-10’s this summer so I’ll have time to go ride!
