Trail Directions
|
Another outstanding trail in the Kelly Canyon area.
Kelly Canyon is a ski area 25 miles east of Idaho Falls on state highway 26. Turn off route 26 at the Heise Hot Springs sign. Drive past the hot springs resort to the ski area. The road to Kelly is paved, but turns to dirt at the ski area. It's a good dirt road. Go past the ski area on the dirt road and proceed east on FS road 218 (Get a Targhee NF, Palisades Ranger District map).Pick one up in downtown IF at the Visitors Center or at the FS office 5 miles east of town on hwy 26.
Follow FS 218 for 12 miles (yes a significant dirt road drive, but the scenery and the bike trail are well worth it. Immediately after you pass the beaver maps along the right side of the road,hang a right on the Moody Swamp road (some jerk has removed the Moody Swamp sign). Go about 3 miles on this road and it dead ends at the Thousands Springs trailhead (yes this One is marked).
