Hulls Gulch is one of the true classics of Boise. It’s got a nice steady grade, some fun little technical challenges (including one pretty imposing rock feature), and a babbling little creek nearby. Its only real shortcoming is its popularity–with lots of traffic and blind corners, downhill bikers shouldn’t expect to let it rip. Hikers, joggers, bikers…everyone loves this trail. It’s also got a sandy composition and drains really well, so it’s useable when many other trails are too wet.

April 15, 2018 at 10:09 amConditions are good!
April 6, 2018 at 5:03 pmHulls, Moto, Bob's 1st half, road, redcillfs. 30-40% soft but not taking damage. Avoidable puddles. Earlier riders rutted some areas.- March 16, 2018 at 2:25 pmSome soft shoulders easy to avoid and puddles that are easily ridden through. Based on how soft Hulls is right now, I assume much of the other stuff is still muddy.

March 9, 2018 at 10:00 amGreat condition as of March 7. Hero dirt is right. May be a little wetter today (3/9) due to rainy conditions. Probably better to stay off of it today.
March 4, 2018 at 7:08 pmI rode lower Hulls today and it was ok for riding. There is a detour on Red Fox which reroute s you over the Chickadee Ridge, this area was somewhat muddy. I would avoid and take road up to Lower Hulls which was fine, just a couple very small muddy areas to ride through.

Packed snow for the most part but a fair share of ice too, some spots softening up and will be muddy by afternoon.
not much snow to deal with on Hulls. Just a few patches.
No mud early this morning, just wet sand and some snow up higher.
Best choice for today – hero sand.
Still a few puddles but you can ride through them.
As an out and back was suprisingly good. Puddles in the same suspect spots as always. CB Park via owls/redfox hulls out and back was great.
Surprising amount of moisture on the trail, interspersed with long good stretches. If we ride through the muddy sections we can keep it from widening even more…
Trail was in very good shape yesterday (1/14/18). With no moisture last night and another dry day today the conditions will only improve. Watch for the really shaded sections though as they aren’t thawing and therefore can get slippy. Get some before the rain hits this week.
