It all starts with copious snow ! This area can get more than 500 inches in a good winter . When combined with the surrounding scenic and rugged peaks , open bowls and tree-lined hills , that snow provides a lengthy season of highaltitude riding .

This system encompasses approximately 350 miles of trails between Alpine and Kemmerer , with regular grooming from mid-December to mid- March . Plus many more miles of trails are available in adjacent parts of Idaho .
One popular ride is from Alpine up through the Greys River area to the Box Y Lodge for lunch and then back to town .
The trails also provide access to excellent backcountry riding . Most riding is done between 6,000 and 10,000 feet and can be about as adventurous as you want . Climb , tree-ride and carve to your heart ’ s content .
Bring your own equipment – just get a modestly priced Wyoming trail permit from a local business – or you get anything you need locally .
