Compressor Trail Idaho

[Jesus_man]

I don't know if y'all are interested in trip reports from other parts of this nation, but just in case, I will post a link to photos and videos of our recent trip to a trail known as Compressor near Mullan, ID. It was the toughest I have done in this area and was quite challenging and extremely beautiful!

We started off with 3 EB's and two Gen 6's. Once we got into the rocks, it was obvious that the clearance on the new ones just wasn't adequate, so they made the decision to turn around. That was the right choice as the trail got harder from there! We all suffered a little more body damage, but no one broke anything mechanical! Great trip!

Our leader said this is the toughest trail he is aware of in the area. I am glad I got to enjoy it, but I get the impression that there isn't many other trails to explore. There has to be others in the vastness of these Northern ID and Western MT mountains!

Looks awesome. Looks like a lot of places the 4lowBC guys on youtube wheel.

I think BC has more variety, or at least more of it has been discovered?? I will have to check out that channel!! TheStoryTillNow is another good one, but he's more of an overlander who is getting into the more serious crawling.

I wonder if that is the trail I ran a few times as a kid.

We would go to the top which was right on the border of Idaho and Montana. There was a spot where you could dislodge big ass boulders and they would go down the face of a steep hill and land in the lake below.

Beautiful area for sure!

No lake, but now I'd like to know where you went!

And for those interested, here is a video of some of it. The fella filming couldn't make the tougher obstacles, so most of the top of the trail is footage from myself or another in the group.
