Grab the family and enjoy!

While Ponderosa State Park isn't quite as off piste as I generally would choose to pursue, it proved to be a perfect route for my family.  While cycling can be quite a workout from the novice to the most technical of rider, a trail-a-bike on mountain trails with your child aboard adds an interesting degree of additional balance and difficulty.

If you haven't ridden the trails in Ponderosa State Park, I would encourage you to grab the family and go.  The trails around the park are of varying width which include some paved sections, all of which meander through some of McCall's most beautiful lakeside setting.

A half hour or so of throwing rocks in the lake generally prove, however, to be the highlight of the day for my kids.  Although, being on the backside of Payette Lake on a secluded bay made for a beautiful setting for all of us to enjoy.

Just a short ride across town and we finished with a pint of liquid refreshment at Salmon River Brewery where the kids enjoyed some company and most importantly the sand.  Here's to good weather, good company and good beer!

Cheers
