Overview of The Great R’Idaho Trail – Nevada to Canada (The GRIT1-N2C)

The most trail dense established ORV trail that goes all the way from Nevada to Canada on a dirt bike.  This route is designed for an intermediate rider to accomplish in 7 days of travel if he has the determination and preparation. This journey begins in the historic town of Jackpot, NV with gas, food, motel and plenty of flavor.  We start by exploring the desert jeep roads and the trails around the Magic Mountain Ski resort. Then we proceed to follow the scenic Rocky Mountain trails and dirt roads all the way to a Canadian Border crossing near Eastport, ID after about 1300 miles using roughly 400 miles of cycle trail, with options to increase that to over 550. The typical day/stage has about 60 miles (~5 hours moving) of rugged cycle or ATV trail and about 90 miles (~3 hours moving) of dirt and jeep roads before you get to the next gas stop, with motels and cafe’s to rest and re-supply for your next stage. You can lodge there or keep going and camp along the trail.  The longest gas range required is below 156 miles except for one case of 189 miles. During most of your day, you will not see another soul, overcoming the challenges following some of the most scenic and rugged mountain terrain in America while challenging your bike and body to test your Guts, Resolve, Intelligence and Toughness (GRIT).
