Payette Excellent Adventure Overnight with Dark Sky Bikepacking and Trailhead in McCall, Idaho

September 25 - September 28

This event is hosted by Bikepacking Roots Regional Steward Don Keller

Rating: “Capstone Course” Difficulty: 7.5/10

This is a spectacular route with incredible views, long climbs, fun descents, and really unique rural bars! Andy and Erin did this route last year in 2½ days and 2 nights.

To make this route more enjoyable, we are suggesting a 9 am departure in McCall on Saturday, September 26th. We recommend camping or getting accommodations for Friday evening if you are coming from out of town. We will bike for 3 full days and 2 nights. Returning to McCall on Monday afternoon.

Check out the route on the Dark Sky Bikepacking website.

All of our group rides are non-guided. All people, all bikes, all skills are welcome! Having an accurate head count ensures that we can accommodate up to 20 people for group camping. Bike bags are available to borrow through Dark Sky Bikepacking lending library and bikes are available to rent through The Trailhead Bicycles. A week prior to our adventure we will send out an email with a suggested packing list, weather forecast, and any updates to our ride plan. We recommend camping or getting accommodations the night before we begin if you are coming from out of town.

 

This event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada. Bikepacking Roots is not involved in the hosting of this event unless otherwise noted. Please reach out to the organizer for more information.
