Trail Projects

SWIMBA has been serious about expanding mountain biking opportunities in SW Idaho since the dawn of the mountain biking age in Boise.

Pick a trail, just about any trail in the Boise Foothills, and chances are, SWIMBA has had a hand in building the trail, maintaining it or funding it. In the early days, SWIMBA was involved in building Shane’s Trail, Trail #1 (Corrals connector), Redtail and Sidewinder. More recently, SWIMBA contributed funds to local favorites like the Watchman Trail and Fat Tire Connector. Up in the Bogus Basin area, SWIMBA’s trail crew has built a series of cool, challenging trails with freeride features such as Eastside, DB, Mr. Big and Mahalo, while contributing labor to some new smoothies like Deer Point.

Quite simply, SWIMBA’s trail crew rocks big-time! We’ve got visionary, energetic and creative trail bosses who love to flag new trails and work with volunteers to build them. We’ve even got our own trail crew mountain bike and Bob Trailer set up for hauling tools to the work site.
