Description

Tesemini Trail - West, is part of a new network of trails called Empire Trails located in Spirit Lake, Idaho. It can be ridden by itself or joined together with other trails to create a longer route.

This trail has the same fun characteristics as the other trails in the Empire Trails system. It can be ridden either direction giving a rider a different take on the trail.

Starting from the west end of the trail heading east, off of Bronze Bay Trail, the trail starts climbing and winding through a maze of high, hillside brush and then winds it way into a tight, cedar forest. After crossing a bridge, the trail predominately makes a long hillside traverse through open forest with many fun-filled technical sections along the way like; (3) bridge crossings, some boulder climbs, tight switchbacks and fast, flow sections.

At the halfway point, the trail will start climbing a little with some short yet challenging ascents with some relieving side hill sections. As you near your way toward the eastern section of the trail you are rewarded with some good views of Spirit Lake and the surrounding mountain sides. Enjoy!

The trail was in perfect condition. Tons of fun! I took my three son's ages 11, 10, and 8. My 8 yr old struggled a little but managed. Super fun! 2.6mi — 1h 30m
