Description / Access Information
Enid's Cut-across: A short-cut across the middle of Enid's Trail. This half-mile long trail travels through Enid's Gulch, named for a prostitute who retreated to this drainage when the town leaders shut-down the mining town's houses of ill-repute. That was in the late 1800's, so you won't likely find any red lights burning there now. The drainage is lovey and the trail through it makes for some nice options for loops or for making connections to other trails on the west side of the highway.
To get to Enid's Cut-across Trail, safely cross the highway, directly across from lodge deck and bike shop. Go down and cross the footbridge over the Big Wood River (creek-like here) and then quickly arrive at a road-like intersection. To get to the east end of Enid's Cut-across Trail, turn right and climb up Northwood Trail to parallel the river and highway. You will soon arrive at an intersection where a horseback riding trail goes left and climbs steeply over to the Titus drainage. Stay straight/right and on Northwood Trail. The next intersection is Enid's Cut-across. Turn left on to Enid's Cut-across.
To get to the west side of Enid's Cut-across Trail, stay straight at the intersection after the footbridge and travel up the two-track road that passes by the cabins and yurts. At the next intersection of two-track roads stay straight/right to start up the Titus Trail (still two-track road here). Keep an eye open for the next intersection on the right. At the next intersection, turn right onto Enid's Trail. Climb up Enid's to reach the west end of Enid's Cut-across Trail.
Directions to Galena Lodge:
The lodge is about 24 miles north of Ketchum on the right/east side of Highway 75. Drive up or ride a bike up. Bicyclists will find a good shoulder for about the first 8 miles north of Ketchum, then the roadway narrows. At this point, a gravel alternative is available for riding a bike up. At the SNRA Headquarters/Visitors Center, get on the Harriman Trail and head north. The Harriman trail is open to non-motorized use. It travels between the SNRA Visitors Center and Galena Lodge. Some areas of loose gravel exist along the trail. Watch out for them, as they can be tricky to negotiate safely. The Harriman Trail is less steeply graded on its south end. As it approaches the lodge the route gets much more challenging.
