Top o’ the World is part of the Idaho IronHorse Challenge.

Our trails climb to about 9,000 feet on the Continental Divide.  They are mostly two-track and single track, with minimal roads. Footing is good overall, but there are rocks. Hoof protection is strongly recommended. Be prepared for all weather.

Ride Camp

Camp is located in a gorgeous meadow on Alex Draw, at an elevation of approximately 6,500 feet. There are very few services available in the nearby town of Spencer, Idaho, so please plan accordingly.

Certified weed free hay is required. There will be some available for purchase at camp; please contact ride management if you need bales. The nearest farm stores are in Idaho Falls (if coming from the south) or Dillon (if coming from Montana).

Horse water and porta-potties will be provided. Please bring people water. Dogs must be leashed at all times.

schedule

An initial ride meeting will be held the evening before Day 1.

Ride times will be posted as the event nears.

 

Non-competitive trail riders may start anytime after the 25/30-mile riders leave. Please check out with ride management before you depart.

meals

Dinners will be provided for riders on the days they ride. Non-riders may eat for $10 per person.

driving directions

To find ride camp, take I-15 to the Stoddard Creek Area via exit 184. Go north off the exit and follow the gravel road up Porcupine Pass. Ride camp is about 10 miles in, then 1/4 mile south on Alex Draw. The road will be marked.
