ST. ANTHONY'S SAND DUNES - ST.
ANTHONY'S, ID |
| |
|
 |
This place is amazing! There is a lot of riding
available and several huge hills that will challenge any machine you bring.
Thunder Mountain is on the East Side of the 35 mile long recreation area, near Egin lake. From the South side of Thunder Mountain, we had no problems with our
stock (at the time) 400EX’s. The North side was another story… The paddles did
their job, but we didn’t have enough power to climb the steep dune. The owners
of Sand Hills Resort told us that the bigger dunes are 600-1000 feet in vertical
climb. The distance wasn’t the problem, the challenge was how steep these things
are! We also gave Choke Cherry hill a few good attempts, but we found ourselves
laughing at one another since we couldn’t even make it half way up. And then
there’s Devils Dune, after attempting the first 2 steep dunes we didn’t think it
could get much worse… but they did. We couldn’t get up Devils Dune from the
North side either but the South side was no problem. The view from the top was
spectacular. For all of you hill shooters at Glamis, you've got to check this
place out... it's humbling. There’s camping available on the East end of the Dunes at Sand
Hills Resort. There’s grass, restrooms, and showers too. Directions: Here are the directions we had for finding
the dunes. They’re not the best, but we found them on our first try… so good
luck. Follow I-15 north to Idaho Falls and then exit onto Highway 20. Follow
Highway 20 thru Rexburg and watch for the small brown road signs that say St.
Anthony Dunes. At the highway exit take a left and head north, now the small
brown signs get even harder to find and follow. You’ll come to a main road, I
think it’s 3rd or 4th street, and of course our maps not
detailed enough. But you’ll head west on this main road and there is a brown
sign on the right side of the intersection so watch for that. Follow the "main"
road until it curves to the left (a few miles). Don’t take the curve, go
straight. Now watch for the brown signs with a camera on them. Take a right onto
the next main cross street, about 4-5 miles and you’ll see the dunes up ahead on
your right.

We found Rock Creek on a recent visit (June '06)
and although we weren't able to ride it looks like a pretty good place. We have
talked to a couple others that have been there, and they said it was pretty
good. Rock Creek has a flat track, motocross track, and supercross track. More
info will be added soon to include directions and a phone number.
