question for those that have lived in Boise, are living in Boise or know about the area. Is there places you can camp and ride from with kids? Is there boondocking or is it in a campground. Does it get so busy that you need to take Thursday off to beat everyone there? How many miles and hours to it?Is there ATV/SxS & motorcycle trails? Are the riding area kids friendly, meaning that an official won't mind if my kids (7-12) are riding their motorcycle or quad? Is the riding seasonal or year round? thanks

You can camp right on the Camas Reservoir and ride in that area. It is off HWY20 east of Mountain Home.

We live in Meridian which is just West of Boise. We don't have ATV's but often, where we boondock up in the Sawtooth's, we see them. This area is seasonal as it gets lots of snow. There are many FS CG's in the Hwy 21 from Lowman to Stanley area and lots of boondocking. Bull Trout FS CG is popular with ATVs as is the FS road going in where a lot boondock. In many roads to the middle fork of the Salmon River, there's a lot of boondocking areas as is the road to and past the Bradley Boy Scout camp past the Seafoam guard station. There are both FS CGs and boondockins spots. When we go, it's on a Thursday evening for what we think is a good spot, but there are many.Are you planning on traveling through a certain time of year or moving here, hence the questions?

Your only about 300mi from some of the biggest, baddest sand dunes in North America. St Anthony sand dunes just north of Idaho Falls.
