If a regular Foothills loop is just too much climbing for you, or you're with a newer rider that isn't down for a 4 mile climb, this may be the loop for you. It has all the same variaty of Hulls Gulch or Shane's Loop but shorter and less extreme. You still have the climbs and the down hills but they aren't as steep and it's half of what Shane's loop is. There is one steep climb and one steep downhill but both are manageable for any single track rider. Takes about 30 min. at a casual pace. If you have A Ridges to Rivers Map of the Foothills it goes: 36 to 36a to 36 to 29 to 39 to 39a
From downtown Boise take 13th street north to Camels Back Park. The trailhead is just East of the Tennis courts.
