The Garden Valley snowmobile trails are located in Southwestern Idaho just north of Boise. The snowmobiling season is from December through March. The Garden Valley area can have up to fifteen feet of snow during the winter time, which is perfect for all winter activities. Besides snowmobiling, residents and tourists alike also enjoy cross-country skiing, dog sledding, sleigh rides, snow shoeing, winter fishing, and camping. The Garden Valley area is truly a winter wonderland.
The Garden Valley snowmobile trails offer 17 miles of groomed trails which begin at the Terrace Lakes Resort. This trail system connects with the Smith’s Ferry trail system to ensure you will have many miles of trails to explore on your snowmobile. You can also check out Garden Mountain from the trail system as long as you are prepared for an ungroomed route. Snowmobiling in the Garden Valley area cannot be done in a single day. To truly explore everything that this beautiful area has to offer you should make a weekend trip out of it.
Before heading out on the trail for an adventure make sure you take a few snowmobile safety precautions. First, don’t drink and drive. This is pretty much common sense and applies to any vehicle whether it be a car or a snowmobile. Second, don’t race your snowmobile, drive at a moderate pace to allow yourself to drive defensively. Third, carry a first aid kit with you just in case of an emergency. Try to avoid snowmobiling across large bodies of water. Dress warmly, if you are snowmobiling most likely it is cold outside. Most importantly do not go snowmobiling alone.
