The route starts at the intersection of Hill Road and Bogus Basin Road on the foothills of Boise. The ride climbs up into the Boise Mountains on a twisting road with banked turns. There is also fabulous scenery with straight down cliffs, panoramic mountain top views, and spectacular skyline views of the Boise Valley on the way back. The traffic is usually light, but be very cautious around the turns, especially on the way down. The grades are steep and strenuous, so it makes for a great training route for someone that competes in events.
