we have our atvs with us all the time and have rode many areas in the western states, and I will say that the silver city area of Idaho has some of the most diverse riding anywhere... several hundred miles of trails that go thru large mining areas, as well as past lots of old abandoned mine shafts/equipment/buildings, very remote mountain meadows, creek crossings, canyons, mountain peaks and the inhabited ghost town of silver city.
there is also a lot of road riding available for those that are a bit less adventurous.
there are so many trails that some have been long unused, and we took a few of these and found they were just as full of adventure, and some more so than the well traveled trails.
if you go, make sure you take a forest service map or an Idaho gazetteer/sportsman map, as the area is large and almost all trails go thru to somewhere else, where you can get on another trail of your choice, to go back to where you started from .... if you know which direction you are wanting to go.
we were there 5 days and rode an average of 60 miles per day and very few trails (other than the main access road) were rode more than once.... and im sure if we would have stayed another 10 days we still couldnt have gotten all the trails covered.
there is a lot to see and a lot to do in the area if you enjoy the outdoors.
and i will agree with others that boondocking will give you more opportunities than you will find in developed campgrounds...
We've driven our Jeep up there and found no suitable area to park our FW, so I'm not sure that Rockerrider will be able to park is toyhauler at the foot of the mountain heading up. Maybe other's familiar with this area can chime in with advice.
