Traveler Guide to Mountain Home, ID

Mountain Home is a city in Southwestern Idaho.

Desert Canyon Golf Course. Very inexpensive course to play and never packed. Come on a weekday and have the course to yourself. Course has no sand bunkers and very little obstacles which makes it fun for the beginner golfer. Front nine is first time player friendly, but the back nine has a few holes in which you must tee off over a canyon. $18. (updated Jan 2021) Mountain Home Supercross Track (Follow Air Base road and turn right onto elmcrest street at the intersection by the chevron. Follow that road to the "T" intersection and take a left. the track will be on your right.). Open June through September for practice and Races. $20 practice fee. Short but sweet track. Has a few table tops that are roughly 40-50 feet in length and a medium sized double in the middle of the track with a 30-40 foot clearance. An average rider can master this track within a few laps. Definitely worth it for its proximity to the city of Mountain Home. (updated Jan 2021)
