2023 KLIM Cow Tag Off-Road Ride Presented by Timbersled - July 15
Join KLIM in supporting Off-Road Trail Advocacy Groups and ride a fun, one-of-a-kind event taking place for the first time ever inside the vast and rugged Salmon-Challis National Forest in Challis, Idaho.
To celebrate the summer riding season, and to support off-road recreation and the advocacy groups keeping these fantastic trails open, KLIM is inviting riders to participate in their annual Cow Tag Off-Road Ride Presented by Timbersled.
“We are thrilled to continue the legacy of our popular KLIM Cow Tag Off-Road Ride, this year presented by Timbersled,” said KLIM’s Motorcycle Event Manager, Mark Kincart. “We are excited for this year’s brand-new location in Challis, Idaho, which offers some of the most beautiful trails in the second largest national forest in the lower 48.”
This unique dirt bike-only event attracts riders from all over North America to bring greater focus on trail preservation while having a great time exploring some of Idaho’s pristine mountain singletrack in search of virtual Cow Tags guided by the Avenza® app. Riders will be challenged to collect as many Cow Tags as possible to earn valuable raffle tickets. Those tickets will be used to enter prize drawings at the indoor reception following the event.
KLIM takes pride in building functional, durable, high-quality gear for off-road riders, and you’ll be riding some of the same trails that help develop their equipment.
