As many of you know, Hulls Gulch is pretty much synonymous
w/ Boise mountain biking. More people know the name and
location of Hulls than any other trail here.
Despite the fact the trail is so popular, it's a boss trail.
Beautifully crafted singletrack etched into the side of a
gully with a few technical rocks and a little exposure
thrown in for fun. PLUS in the Spring, there is a creek
running in the gully. Right now there are 3 or 4 small
waterfall spots that are straight out of Outside Magazine.
The trick is finding the trail unoccupied. With the
semi-inclement weather the last few days (we've gone from
sunny 70s to blustery 40s and 50s for a bit), I've had the
good fortune of riding Hulls Gulch by myself.
One particular evening on the way down headed for a barley
pop, with the ACS Claw buzzing, the Surly slippin' thru the
rocks and the light gurgle of the stream on my left, I
thought, "This trail is tits!"
Yes, I know, that's not really appropriate, and I apologize,
but it's the only thing that properly captured how I was
feeling. There are some things I like doing as much as
mountain biking, however at that particular moment it was a
toss up! =)
