Hagerman & 1000 Springs / Malad Gorge
Self-Guided ONLY
Come ride following along the Old Oregon Trail route to the Hagerman, Idaho area. Along the way you’ll see some of the desert much like the Pioneers saw it...only we have a paved road!
​
You’ll also see some of the most beautiful countryside that Idaho has to offer, both agricultural and natural. Have you ever seen tens of thousands of gallons of water per second gushing out of “solid rock” fissures from basalt cliffs before? You will! Deep aquafers, believed to be sourced by the Lost River some 100 miles away, release their precious resource from the cliffs into the Snake River near Hagerman. Another sight in the area is the Malad River cutting deep into the rock with a stair-stepping waterfall just off the interstate. You can see the Snake River Canyon where fossil beds can be explored. The entire area is simply a sight to behold around nearly every turn!
