Overview

Our Backcountry Hot Springs/multi-sport tour showcases the magnificent Sawtooth Mountain Range, in Idaho’s lower midsection. This national recreation area, comprising The Boise, Sawtooth and Challis National Forests—largest set aside in the continental United States—borders a vast, 587,000-acre wilderness. The physically striking Sawtooths to the east represents our ingress, a gateway to outstanding adventure pursuits.

High in the 2,612,703-acre Boise National Forest, beholding a 50-mile horizon, we submerge ourselves for the next six days. Think quick descents on nimble, do-it-all mountain bikes; rolling high ridges, navigating the forests that feed broad grasslands. Below the trail loom some of the best trout fishing holes in The West. The regulars we might meet: Bull Moose, bear, deer and elk. This high country blends hiking with mountain biking, whitewater rafting with glorious soaks in the area’s abundant natural hot springs! Speaking to the latter, some are pointed out with signage, while others are unmarked; only given away by tall columns of steam. Mineral-suffused, the hot springs we drop into are clean, delightfully secluded, all at various depths and degrees. Put another way: You might have a cozy two-seater with a sandy bottom all to yourself; or we’ll share warm, connected earthen pools fed by multiple waterfalls. Seriously, it doesn’t get any better.

Our days will unfold at anywhere from 4,400-feet to 8,000 feet. Likewise, each night’s campsite differs just as widely. One day we rest and recline in backcountry style, surrounded by tall, sloping grasslands. The next finds us around a fantastic campfire, beneath owls and shooting stars, swept up in the sway of endless coniferous forest. The ambient then transitions to a soothing-constant churn when the shore above a whitewater river becomes our home for a night. Each day’s stunning beauty, sights and sounds, complements the next.

Day 1: Rocky Bar to Atlanta From Boise we shuttle to our first stop of the tour – Rocky Bar. The countryside here is unsurpassed in its beauty and ruggedness. Our ride is a fun, 3000 foot, non-technical descent on fire roads to the Boise River. Once at the river, we’ll ride a short few miles to our camp just outside the historic mining town of Atlanta. Once at camp, take advantage of the two natural hot springs nearby, or get in more riding with an optional singletrack ride that leaves right from our camp.

Day 2: Hiking – Decker Creek A hike from our campsite takes us up into the beautiful big country along the Decker Creek. You’ll be inspired by the scenery and quietude of central Idaho. After lunch we take our time touring through the historic mining town of Atlanta. The deserted buildings give us a sense of the real Old West. We’ll spend the evening with a relaxing and well-deserved hot spring swim.

Day 3: Biking – Banner Ridge Kirkham Hotsprings Today we pack up camp and shuttle even higher into the Boise National Forest to the Banner Ridge sno-park. After lunch on Banner Ridge we’ll descend from 7,100’ feet to 4,300’ feet finishing at our favorite hot spring of the week. We’ll spend a few hours here soaking our legs and jumping in and out of the roaring Payette river. Total Mileage 18 miles Camp Pine Flats

Day 4: Rafting – Payette River Be ready to get wet! Rafting the Payette River is a great way to see the canyon. Class IV rapids take us down the Lower South Fork of the Payette River. We’ll pass through towering canyon walls, incredible scenery and Big Falls, a thundering forty-foot water fall! Camp | Pine Flats

Day 5: Hiking – Red Mountain Trail Today’s out-and-back hike begins along beautiful Clear Creek. Clear Creek. Which we will cross a number of times. Then the trail takes us straight up through an open Douglas fir forest to the top of Red Mountain. From the top, we have magnificent views of a number of remote lakes and enjoy the peacefulness of the area. Although the trail is steep and exposed at times, we are often rewarded by amazing views of the Sawtooth Range and beautiful wildflowers. Total Mileage 13 miles Camp | Pine Flats

Day 6: Biking – Banner Ridge Sno-Park We shuttle back to Banner Ridge and utilize the cross country ski trails for a fast and fun ride over the peaks. The tree lined trails of Banner Ridge open up with big views of Steel Mountain, the Sawtooths, and Sunset and Pilot peaks to the west, providing a very scenic backdrop for our last day of riding. We’ll have lunch at one of the trailheads and shuttle back to Boise. Total Mileage | 15 miles

Lodging

First-Class Camping

The food tastes better, the sky is certainly bigger, and your mind is clearer.

There is nothing better than rolling into camp to fresh made chips and salsa, homemade guacamole, and Dutch oven enchiladas. Then making your way to a sweet and inviting campfire, sharing your favorite anecdote or image from the day’s activities while marshmallows roast. Enjoy a small-batch, local beer before retiring to your tent. Inside: a sturdy raised cot, fluffy sleeping bag, and a plush full size pillow. Wow. You earned this. Sweet dreams.

We choose well-maintained public campgrounds with scenic vistas and comfortable arrangements. You’ll move seamlessly from one day of your trip to the next, camping outdoors and enjoying wildly healthy, delicious homemade meals.

The majority of our selected campgrounds feature indoor facilities and showers. Conversely, in more remote backcountry camping scenarios, we’ll provide portable toilets and private solar showers.

Camping gear may be rented or you may bring your own. All of our camping gear is tested and hand-chosen from top manufacturers to ensure you get a good nights’ sleep. Our camp gear package includes a tent, sleeping pad, raised cot, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, full size pillow, and ground tarp.

Every Escape Adventures tour is accompanied by at least one support vehicle, trailer, and in some cases a second and third transfer van. After purchase, we custom engineer our trucks, vans, and trailers by our on-staff mechanic to meet the unique needs of different tours. For example, certain trucks are specifically designed for The White Rim and The Maze, while others are designed for The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Each of our guides is required to be trained in safe vehicle operation, 4X4 driving, and basic maintenance. Our experienced guides make it look easy, transporting you and up to 12 guests, along with their bikes, fresh food, camping gear and plenty of drinking water to a remote location.

The Best Food

Our food isn’t just good, it’s good for you.

Food is a big part of the Escape Adventures experience. Our guides prepare all of your meals on our camping trips. Expect three delicious meals a day consisting entirely of freshly prepared foods. These include fresh organic fruits and vegetables as well as meats. We also have energy snacks aboard our support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you are out riding. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat! Many of our guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom we are more than happy to accommodate. If you have special diet requirements or limitations, just let us know when you sign-up and we’ll work with you to meet your needs.

Fantastic Idaho Family Reunion with young adults Most memorable week of family time with our two young adult children, and first-hand experience of the excitement what rugged Idaho has to offer. We mountain biked across 4 days ranging from easy dirt ride, to two-track mountain switch back roads and single-track through wooded hillside, long-hiked (14 miles 750ft elevation change over 10hours including river dipping and lunch time) aside from other short hikes on other days, plus a full-day whitewater rafting down Payette River. Our guides Austin and Zeke are very special people, with unique life experiences to share, and competent outdoor skills and patience to enhance our trip experience. I could not say enough praises of our guides. On the long hike of a 12 mile thru-hike trail was outgrown at 8 mile mark unexpectedly. Austin hiking in with our family and Zeke coming from the other end of trail to rendezvous with us used satellite messaging were able to guide us through the challenges. And then they made dinner back at camp (chicken with pan roasted Brussels sprouts ). That long hike was spirit-building for our whole family, and demonstrated even more admirable qualities of our young guides! Camp food was very healthy and tasty (Austin meal-planned perfectly to help us stay low-carb). Bikes worked great and Zeke is quite the mechanic (not just on bikes but on the trailer too). Tent kits worked great; cots are a useful upgrade for us older people in our 60’s and 50’s. Last but not least we loved the hot springs. It’s different from the onsens in Asia (Japan, Taiwan) but highlights the unique beauty of America! Some are walkable from camp, some by short bike rides, others by car ride. Thank you Escape Adventures! You helped to bring our family of 4 together at the end of summer in the one week we could all make it! We will remember you and come back again in the future! ️️️ - Cynthia S. - 8/18/2025

Great 6 day trip in the Idaho backcountry! Wonderful food, fun biking, awesome rafting. The biking can be tailored to your ability and even can include e-bikes for those that prefer that option. Great time overall! - Jeff Bronikowski - 8/02/2021

Idaho Multi-sport Tour What a great adventure! The multi-sport tour in Idaho included mountain biking, hiking, and rafting. Our guides Troy and Tanner are unmatched. They really know the area and provided great advice on mountain biking for a novice like me, who really struggled in the beginning, but they kept encouraging me, which made all the difference. They are smart, engaging, and can cook up a storm. I will remember this trip forever and have a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Idaho. - Mjgem - 7/12/2021

We are a family of 4 with 2 kids 12 and 10 from New England who were looking for a Western adventure camp/hike/bike trip in gorgeous outback. I found these guys online and boy, did they exceed all expectations! From Kevin handling questions and finding the right trip to our amazing guides Will and Billy, this co. is top notch. They are experienced, safe, use top notch equipment and bikes, and are great handling kids! Trust me on that last point, as our kids were not always motivated or, let’s say, agreeable.... For reference, we did the Sawtooth multi-day and it was all that and then some! Do yourself and your spouse a big favor and let Escape handle your family’s back country adventure! - Mike Bottaro - 8/17/2020
