Burns Creek Motorcycle Trail is a long single track with lots of other trail junctions along the way. From Burns Creek if you can ride the terrain you can ride to just about any were in the Big Holes. I would suggest taking a map or someone with you who knows the area and be aware of the weather. We have been stuck out here in the rain before pushing our bikes out!!! it can be very slick and very steep. Witch brings me to my next point. If their is a chance it will be rainy you should choose to do this trail in a down hill fashion and if it is dry be prepared for a good climb out.
More Times than not when we ride Burns Creek Motorcycle Trail we ride from the Snake River north and go up stream or up hill and then we go past Hell Hole Canyon To Coal Mine Canyon and ride Coal Mine out. This is by far the easiest way i know of to get out. If you choose to ride past Coal Mine be prepared for a very steep climb out. Hell Hole is also Very very steep. Their are also a few more junctions along this trail that i will not go into at this point but they should be considered difficult and time consuming before you try to ride them.

I love any chance to ride Burns.This trail has always satisfied my craving for a touph ride!!!! I would recomend that if you go to this trail you bring some one who knows the area and has atleast one good solid season under there belt.This trail has worked me more than once from sliding down sloppy drops to pushing my bike up steep slippery hills.In the right time of the year this can be one one of my favorite trails and be a special treat for me and my buddies.If your looking for some grip and rip this trail has it for you!!!!!
We came down from Castle Lake crossed Burns Creek went up the other side then turned right at the Junction where the sign says Slide Creek Trail.
It was the worst trail I have been on with trees down and over grown bushes so you could hardly see the trail. It didn't help that we had been riding for about 3 1/2 hours up to Garns Peak prior to attempting, but it took us 5 1/2 hours to make our way out and back to Kelly Canyon. If there hadn't been three of us to pull the bikes under a tree and up a bank I'm not sure we would have made it. Climbing back out the way we came seemed too much for me and my 300 lb dual sport, DRZ400.
After we got through all of that we came by what I believe to be Coal Mine Canyon and Hell Hole Canyon. I believe the sign said 1,000 Springs Valley. Is this the ride you are referring to when you say Burns Canyon? Or are you just speaking of the lower portion of Burns Canyon?
