Hiking Idaho Solon Switches To Bike

Idaho state Rep. Mat Erpelding, (pictured) D-Boise, hasn’t given up his plan to travel the length of Idaho this fall by muscle power to promote trails, experience rural areas and raise funds for the Redside Foundation supports the health of Idaho guides. But he said a leg injury has forced him to change his plan from hiking the 950-mile Idaho Centennial Trail. He’d hiked 220 miles in 10 days from Upper Priest River Falls to Mullan, but a few days later on the stateline trail along the Bitterroot Mountains, the leg injury got too him. His Facebook posts show him riding down the old Lewiston Grade and advancing to Riggins and the Mountain Time Zone/Rich Landers, SR Outdoors. More here.

Question: What's the farthest distance that you've hiked? Describe experience.
