Bogus Creek Loop is a short, easy mountain biking route in Idaho's Boise National Forest, within the Mountain Home Ranger District. The loop is about 0.33 miles long and sits at roughly 6,277 feet, with a high point of 6,344 feet and a total elevation gain of 168 feet for the round trip. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 11% grade near the start, and the route makes a quick out-and-back. The loop works well as a short ride or a warm-up before heading to other spots in the area. It starts close to Deer Point, a hike about 0.1 mile away, and Marshmellow and Sunshine XC, two other mountain biking routes each about 0.2 mile off. Bogus Boulders, a climbing area, is about half a mile away.
