They close the mountains during summer all the time here, so if you want to ride in the mountains your stuck in the rainy months.Then hunting season starts & drunk hunters go to the riding areas & look for deer there, you ride by on your quad & feel like your going to be gunned down. I am actually begging my wife to move to idaho for the dunes there! I rode st. Anthony's once & fell in love, I want to be able to ride there all the time.
