This trail is in the FS Flats campground area.  This section of the trail was photographed in the afternoon after the Magic Valley ATV Riders worked on the trail cleaning out the water bars as part of National Public Lands Day.  This is a good trail to ride if you like riding over water bars like I do.  Get some speed up and they are lots of fun as long as you watch for blind corners.  Click on any photo to enlarge it.
