The Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route is Adventure Cycling Association's newest bicycle touring route, and it's first which includes optional technical singeltrack sections. The route guides riders over and through the breathtaking landscape of central Idaho. From blue ribbon trout streams to sub-alpine terrain and cozy mountain towns, riders pass through some of the most spectacular country the West has to offer, with the opportunity to indulge in over 50 hot springs. Join Casey Greene - the designer, researcher, and cartographer of this route - as he talks about the many challenges faced with the 700+ miles of routing, and about the subtle, but innovative, design features that the final maps present.
