Matt's Gulch

Matt's Gulch is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Idaho's Burley Field Office, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It covers about 0.24 miles, rising 100 feet from the 4,739-foot start to the 4,762-foot high point before returning to the same elevation. The climb is flat overall, with the steepest section at about 0.06 miles in, a 5% grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Twin Falls run to highs around 78°F in June and 88°F in July. That station sits roughly 600 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures up high run a bit cooler. Upper Dry Gulch is just 0.1 mile away, and Brennan is half a mile off. Farther out, Snakeskin and Sidewinder are each within about a mile and a half. For paddling, Rock Creek is about 3.5 miles away.
