Meadowlark is a short, easy mountain biking ride in Idaho, about 3.4 miles from the town of Avimor. The route is an out-and-back of about half a mile, with a total elevation gain of 72 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.11 miles from the start, where the grade reaches 8 percent. The high point is 3,136 feet, and the route returns to nearly the same elevation it starts at. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boise show July highs around 88°F with lows near 58°F, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and regular snow days from December through February. Two other mountain biking routes, #71 Red Tail and #75 Currant Creek, sit about 0.2 miles away, and the #72 Lookout Loop hike is about 0.4 miles off. Climbers can find The Playground about 5 miles away.
