Still another reason Island Park is a perennial favorite among sledders is the very reason most travel to this corner of Idaho-mountains. Who hasn't heard of Mt. Jefferson (10,203 feet), where some of the best hillclimbing anywhere can be found, or Mt. Sawtelle (9,866 feet) and Reas Peak. We should also point out that Mount Two Top is actually in Idaho although most associate this famous viewpoint as being in the West Yellowstone trail system.
Mount Two Top is just west of the Idaho/Montana border, which means you can see forever in any direction on a clear day. To the west are Henry's Lake, Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Sawtelle. To the north is Targhee Peak (10,300 feet) while to the east is West Yellowstone, Hebgen Lake and Yellowstone National Park. Still looking east and then south are the Tetons. We couldn't even venture a guess as to how many photos have been shot from just Two Top alone. Thousands and thousands.
Instead of thinking of Island Park and West Yellowstone as big competitors, look at them as sharing some of the best riding in the West. The Continental Divide separates the two areas but they still share many of the same trails and that only adds to the fun and the experience. All together that's about 900 miles of trails. And that rivals any system anywhere, regardless of whether it's in the West, Midwest or East.
