H*RC Summer Slam '23


The annual northerly migration of the H*RC to the alpine riding meccas of Idaho and Montana. This is an open invite event and BYOEverything. Below you will find the itinerary and staging areas so that you can bring your rig, your bike and your camping gear to meet up with us at any point. We will be making meals, but please come prepared to feed and hydrate yourself as needed. I shouldn’t have to mention that your bike and your body should be in good operating condition so that we may enjoy ourselves together rather than fixing things all week. Muchas gracias amigos y amigas.

ITINERARY:

July 22 - 26: Greenhorn Gulch in Hailey, Idaho

Hailey is the eastern entry point to the enormous network of trails that extend through the southern half of the Sawtooth Mountain.  There’s something for everyone here, from easy rips through big meadows to big rocky ridgeline climbs.  It’s also just 15 minutes or so from the airport.

Camping / Staging:

All camping options will be dispersed, and a small crew will arrive early to nail down a space that can hold our group.  When we land, we will send a pin to the group and copy to the google doc. Options:

 

July 26 - 30: Sylvia Lake, Montana

Sylvia Lake is a magical little spot wedged in the heart of Flathead National Forest.  From the lakeside campground we can get lost in any direction on all kinds of terrain.  It’s utterly beautiful, way off the grid, and the few of us who have been have only had a small taste of the riding on offer.
