Trail Overview

This connector trail starts from Red Warrior - Lodgepole with a loose rocky downhill into some tight switchbacks that have a lot of loose rock as well. The switchbacks get wider and more sweeping as you continue to drop down the hill to the intersection with Mahoney Butte. The trail has a view of the burn area on the hillside in front of you and expansive views of these rolling green hills as it goes through beautiful meadows full of wildflowers and a couple of treed sections of shade. This is a good way to access some of the trails farther south in the trail system.

Access Description

The Greenhorn trails are an extensive trail system south of Ketchum Idaho that gets a high amount of use from various recreational users including mountain bikers and horses and hiking in addition to dirt biking. There's a decent-sized parking lot at the staging area for Greenhorn Trails, that can accommodate trailers, but doesn't allow camping, and gets full even on weekdays. The trails can also be accessed off of Warm Springs Road to the north and Deer Creek Road to the south, which both have places to camp. It's an extensive system with trails of varying difficulty from easy to advanced. This area can get really hot in the summer and doesn't have much shade. This area is very well signed and maintained, but most of the area doesn't have cell service, so download your maps ahead of time.
