dicedealer702 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey there I am here to ask some one about the riding at st. Anthoney's in Idaho. It seems to be one of the few dunes that might be worth my wild to visit. It would be a ten hour drive for me and I just want to make sure it is worth it, being that I only two hours from kick ass DUMONT DUNES. Thanks for anyones input....

Anthony's but heard its got some awesome riding and would be worth checking out. I spend all my time at Sand Mountain/Little Sahara, Utah since its only 90 minutes from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering how close the dunes were to the water, and how close is the camping to the dunes? What time of the year is best to go?

BUILDER Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 The only water there is a lake that is not very big and the camping is right next to the sand. Just depends on how hot you like it. It gets really cold and snows in the winter there and gets pretty warm in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I drove 27 hours to go out there. It was awesome. Place looked dead most of the time. It was great. It's more of a riders place then for partying I think. Once we got out in the dunes there weren't a ton of people out there. It was nice. Big ass hills. Some of em turned my stomach, like riding a big ass roller coaster. Im a sissy though, not used to real hills. I've got my wife talked into moving out there so I can ride more often. Can't wait.

It would be a ten hour drive for me and I just want to make sure it is worth it, being that I only two hours from kick ass DUMONT DUNES. Thanks for anyones input.... we decided to stay in town @ the only hotel in st anthony because we needed food and fuel every morning, and not to mention the hotel was a block away from the ONLY bar in town we have only ever gone in june and i thnik its awesome. but a few locals say that later in july, Aug. and sept is the best time to go. They said the peaks of the dunes tend to round off and are better for jumping and what not. Yes. It was worth my 12 hour drive, and has been for 3 yrs. I took the month of june off and plan on spending 2 weeks of it there Edited March 7, 2011 by crazycanuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard2Smoker Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) i go for a week every summer. its the best riding i have done thus far. and ST. A's has some BIG hills, but choke cherry, and the big stuff is not right by the campground. but there is a trail right to them. i stay in the hotel in st anthony because i dont have a camper... yet. but i go long past the campground to park in an almost vacant parking lot that is less than a mile to the big hills. only people i see at this parking lot are the drug task force guys cruising in their jacked Suzi Samurai, and a local or two. i love st anthony's because besides the campground area there is almost no one there. i hate crowds, squids, and parking lot superstars. i have only unloaded at the campground once and will never unload there again, lots of parking lot superstars and squids. a group of idiots trying to jump down the trail on the side of the dunes to get to the big hills. i got off my bike and had a few words with the idiot who almost landed on my brother when we were coming up a small dune on the trail. needless to say that spineless s*** wont make that mistake again. PS and by the way my pic is choke cherry. its HUGE Edited March 25, 2011 by DieHard2Smoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury65 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 i live 2 hours from st anthonys and make many trips there during the season. befor i moved here i lived in hesperia CA 1 1/2 hours from dumont and made many trips there. you could hide dumont in st anthonys. it does not have a comp hill that truns into a big party like dumont. but there is plenty of racing on the busy weekends at crapo hill and choke cherry. to give you a idea of how big and steep choke is, a stock honda 400 ex or a stock 250 2 stroke 2 wheeler with a 200 lbs rider will not make it up. we will be making are firts trip soon, have not set a date yet wating on a friend from las vegas to set his date but i will post all trips we make. and i will take a gps this time and post the cords to the things you will want to see. if you have any questions or need help feal free to pm me.
