Idaho
has over 7,200 miles of snowmobile trails, more than any other
western state, Idaho ranks among the region's top sledding destinations.
. Twenty-nine grooming programs located throughout the state will
guide you through some of the most spectacular scenery you'll
ever see. Millions of acres of open riding exist on Forest Service,
Bureau of Land Management, State and private land. Run free through
freshly blanketed valleys, across frozen lakes, and wide-open
plains. Gas, food, and lodging are nearby in friendly Idaho towns,
and many resorts and guest ranches welcome snowmobilers. Idaho
borders Yellowstone, so skip the crowds and crank up the fun throttle.
Many
of Idaho's trails are interconnected, allowing for virtually endless
riding. There's plenty of dry, untracked powder to be found, and
no shortage of breathtaking mountain vistas, either. Elevations
range, from 1,000 to 10,000 feet, making for considerable variation
in terrain throughout the state. There are plenty of dealerships,
clubs, and services catering to snowmobilers, and the state government
is fairly supportive of the sport.
