When I go out, its usually to the desert. Nothing real hard core, just rough "two track" roads. There are some pretty cool rock formations, lava tubes, and some craters to the north past the Civil Defense Caves. Head east from the Civil Defense Caves and you can end up at Sand Creek WMA and Island Park.

South is pretty much all residential to Idaho Falls. To the West and North you have more desert, about a 20 mile by 70 mile strip from the Snake River on the south end, to Interstate 15 at the west. North you will be into the forest and Montana before you see much for civilization. Most of my off road adventures have been in the desert to the North.

To the south and east there are forest service roads. Head up past the water tower out of Rexburg till you come to the T, Then take a left. Right at the next T and you will soon be in the Forest. This will put you between Kelly and Green Canyons. Mostly forest service roads up there. There is Websters Dam, if you can find it. Stay out of there when its wet. You wont be able to climb back out.

There is Relay Ridge to the east. There is a forest service road up past Green Canyon Hot Springs that will take you to the high point. You can see from Idaho Falls to Driggs from up there. If you take the right roads you can get from Green Canyon to Kelly Canyon in a couple of hours. All forest service Roads. Pretty much no getting lost in this area. Sooner or later you will get to pavemment.

Further north you will get into the mountains past Kilgore. Mostly forest service roads. East and north past Ashton there is sheep falls.You will get pretty close to Yellowstone in this area. Lots of rivers in this area and the scenery cant be beat. Check with the forest service for maps of the area. Take a right at the flashing light in Ashton, then follow the signs toward Cave Falls.

That's a tough question. There are lots of places to go. To the north you have the St. Anthony Dunes. You have probably passed them on the way to the civil defense caves. Air down for the sand, maybe 12-15 PSI is plenty. If it is your first experience out there, make sure you have another vehicle or two with you for recovery or a ride home. There are also miles and miles of desert to ex...
