The route extends from the SNRA (Sawtooth National Recreation Area) headquarters to Galena Lodge and can be accessed from many different points. Starting from the North Fork Campground, the ride follows the Big Wood River upstream. The route leads through spacious meadows, aspen stands, and lodgepole forests. There are also magnificent views of the surrounding Boulder Mountain Range and Smoky Mountains. During the winter months, the trail is groomed for cross country skiing. The ride can be either an uphill, downhill, or as an out and back adventure.
