Priest River Valley snowmobiling
If riding snowmobiles up and down thousands of vertical feet through the snowy Idaho mountains, covering 30 miles—or more—is the quest. Look no further! Experienced snowmobile riders, off-road enthusiasts and “the brave and the willing” will find this vertically-based snowmobiling tour to be amazing! Add a hearty lunch up in the valley or at our riverside warming cabin, and there’s none better! Have you heard? We're a new location for Polaris Adventures! #keeponadventuring
