The Challis Foothills Trail System was planned and implemented through a joint
partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, Challis Field Office, City of
Challis, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, Tread Lightly!, and the
Challis Community Trails Collaborative. The objective of the trail system is
to provide community connectivity within the City of Challis while encouraging
healthy lifestyles for local residents and visitors by participating in a
diversity of trail-based recreation experiences and activities. These trails
are open to mountain bikers (including Class I, II, and III electric
bicycles), hikers, runners, horseback riders, and winter users. Only specific
trail segments are open to motorized use. Please refer to the trail map for
specific trail use designations.

Idaho is home to some of the newest Wilderness in the nation including the
beautiful Boulder-White Clouds complex of central Idaho. These protected
areas, designated in August 2015, preserve approximately 276,000 acres of high
mountain backcountry with crystal lakes and abundant wildlife. The BLM manages
23,916 acres in the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness. This mountainous and
dry area features hiking, fishing, hunting, and equestrian use, as well as
opportunities to just “get away” and enjoy some solitude. The Jim McClure-
Jerry Peak Wilderness area also includes the upper Herd Creek watershed with
one of the most intact native plant communities in the state. This patchwork
of riparian willows, abundant bunch grasses, forbs, aspen and conifers
provides critical habitat for fish and wildlife species in the wilderness
area. A great way to get to the wilderness is to take a short hike from the
end of the road to Herd Lake A hike to the top of Jerry Peak will greet you
with great panoramic views of surrounding mountain ranges. Jim McClure-Jerry
Peak is the least visited of the three new wilderness areas, so if you want to
enjoy solitude, great vistas, and the natural environment with minimal
impacts, this is a great place to visit.
