Always come prepared for DUSTY, MUDDY and/or RAINY trail conditions.  Idaho weather can change by the hour.  Please ensure all participants are aware of these conditions and prepared for a variety of extreme environments.

Considering the distance and duration of this tour, breakdowns are commonplace.  Most breakdowns can be avoided if proper vehicle maintenance is done prior to hitting the trail.  We recommend that all participants have their equipment fully fueled and maintained prior to departure.  Flat tires and broken CVT belts constitute the majority of trail delays.  Our guides will make every effort to assist with trail repairs when requested.  Should a vehicle need towed or transported off the trail, we will make every effort to assist to the extent that resources are available.  In some cases, trail breakdowns may cause the tour to terminate immediately, as our guides cannot continue the tour with a vehicle or person left on the side of the trail.
