Summitpost.org and Mbpost.org
For those of you out there interested in climbing, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking and really any outdoor sport www.summitpost.org and www.mbpost.org offer untold amounts of info on your favorite activities. Summitpost is mostly for climbing with some resources for hiking and mbpost is for mountain biking. I have used SummitPost quite a few times and have found it to be a wonderful source of information. Mbpost is a branch off of SP and it is pretty new, so it doesn't have a lot of trails and areas yet; but the best thing about both sites is the content is completely user generated and free to join. With stuff like this who needs a guide book, some of the pages even tell you the best place to get a beer after your climb or ride!

Hey, I think that is really cool! Companies like Trails.com have the data but they want you to pay a monthly fee to access the data! Taking the user generated content route is much smarter and will prove to have more up to date information I think. If you go to the blog (www.idrocks.com) there is a link to "Hiking & Biking Trails in Hailey". That is my own little trail map I've started in Hailey. Maybe IDRocks.com could work on our very own "Idaho Trail Maps?"
There is also a forum where you can ask questions about trail conditions, beta, gear, etc. and other members respond back. It is actually a pretty handy site.
