Fisher Creek, Idaho is one of the most classic mountain bike rides in the United States. Located in the White Cloud Mountains near Stanley, the Fisher Creek Loop is mostly known for a smooth, buff, dive-bomb-worthy descent on perfect single track. The trail takes mountain bikers through hugely scenic terrain, including long-abandoned log cabins, a huge burned forest left bare and charred from a wildfire years ago, and lush woods filled with evergreens and wildflowers.
In this featured video I shot and edited for KSL Outdoors, Mason Diedrich and I take a ride on Fisher Creek, where we were surprised by a black bear that ran out onto the trail, nearly missing Mason’s front tire. Luckily, his GoPro was rolling and caught it all on video.
