How many hours do you drive to ride the MOUNTAINS?

 

[jzanc532]

Usually about 2.5 hours to the mountain for me.

 

[Scott]

I can unload in 15 to 20 mins if I wanted to. Typically I drive 45 mins to 2 hours during certain times of the season.

It can range from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on where we are going. IP is about a hour and a half drive.

I found out how grand it really is to only drive 25 minutes and unload. I spent last weekend in Boise, we drove for 1 hr. 50 min. to ride the Trinities, 1 hr. 40 min. to ride Idaho City, 1hr. 55 min. to get to McCall. I'm pretty sure I would ride alot less if 2 hours was the norm. EXPENSIVE!!

I live in the mountains but it's not legal to ride anywhere near where I live because it's all surrounded by State Park land. We usually drive 2 to 2-1/2 hours to get to good riding.

Either 40mins if the snow is good or 2hrs to the good stuff all the time.

 

[christopher]

90 Minutes.

 

[Dogmeat]

if all I wanna do is road ride, 20 minutes ... if I wanna actualy ride minimum is usually 1.5 hours, but typically its 3 hours.

20 minutes to my favorite place. I can't be bothered to drive 1 hour to the other side of the valley. There is spectacular riding over there I just don't care. Yes, I get hasseled all the time about it. I take my hat off to you guys that drive for hours and hours to get to the hills, man thats dedication.

I can be on the snow in the mountains in 20 min but I have a lot of family around Togwotee (5 hours) and Cooke city (8 hours).

 

[boatingbent]

Approx 900 miles from here to Albany (Snowies)
Approx 1100 To Togwotee

 

[adairtd1]

30min to an Hour at the longest for the places around where I live.

 

[sledr900]

A lot less than 6 years ago.

We used to drive 600 miles one way to ride. Then in 2006 we moved further west. Now we can ride from our house if we want to, but most of our riding is done 50 miles from our home.

5 min. from the gas station when we ride in the valley. Up to 2 hours going to I.P. Tog. or Greys River, South end.........

 

[snowboatboy]

We drive 5mi to the only all winter (late November to early April) spot on our island, and if there's a lot of snow an hour to another spot.

 

[POLZIN]

2.5 is the longest drive to what I consider local riding areas. 1 hr 15 min. to peak season goodies.

 

[The Fourth Wolf]

I live in Anchorage.
South
Placer/Turnagain Pass is about an hour.
Lost Lake is about 2
Caribou Hills 3-5 depending on access point

North
Petersville is about 2 hours
Cantwell is 4.5 hours with various jumping off points beforehand.

East
Eureka (area) is about 2 hours
Thompson Pass/Valdez 5-6 hours

I mostly ride Placer, Turny or P-Ville so I chose 1+ hours.

Closest place is 1000 miles, furthest I've driven is 1450. That was a long haul.
