Myself, and the other three who want to go ride there, we have not ever ridden the Blue River area. Is it hard to find the riding areas?
Best accommodations?
We are trying to plan a guys trip for 4 days of riding, ages 31 to 58, all have ridden a lot.
Thanks

has maps of all the riding areas, and staging areas. They can all be loaded to a gps.

The staging areas are easy to find.

I think if you can get your hands on the riding area and trail map brochure they print, you'll be fine. I think the main difference you'll find at Blue is that there are no cabins / warm up shacks / shelters in the riding areas, at least none that I can think of.

Start off with East Groundhog then Foam Creek. You won’t be disappointed with either. After you do those two, read the info for each other area and decide where to go next.

Thanks to all of you, man this is a great forum. Two of us are on bikes, and two on sleds. Figure if it gets too deep in some areas the sleds can break trail and I'll poach their track.
