  • Choke Cherry is the big wall at St. Anthony's Dunes in Idaho. I'm not certain on these details, but I've read that the approach is roughly 285 feet tall and almost vertical, with the higher side on the right, topping out at 500+ft. Having gone up all of it, I can confirm it is extremely tall and steep.
    This is the hill that always gets compared to China Wall in Glamis, and while I'm not a dune expert, I'd definitely agree with the people who say Choke Cherry is "a lot more hill". Enjoy!

    The camera does not do it justice, it’s so much steeper and higher than it looks! I’ve seen a lot of machines and bikes not able to make it to the top.

      I couldn’t agree more! This hill is a monster- the sort of challenge the many riders won’t attempt and many bikes can’t climb. I’ve never seen a video of Choke Cherry or China Wall that capture the reality of such an extreme experience.

    Nice! The sand is nice near the top. We'll be there next week with couple R's in the group. Hopefully the cornices are crisp.

      It’s a good one! If you like hill climbing, then grab some friends and head out there. I went back to Choke Cherry about a month ago and I swear it never gets old.

    Nice 250R! I was riding St. Anthony's September 2021. Can confirm choke cherry is tall and steep.

    Did you go to devils stair case when you were there

    • @RetroRiders_250R_Magazine
      @RetroRiders_250R_Magazine  3 роки тому

      We did not. I was only there for 4 days and I didn't have time to explore everything. My quad has a 40mm carb on it, and gets horrendous gas mileage, making it harder still to explore. Is the staircase worth going to?

    That’s a very steep hill. How high is it?

    • @RetroRiders_250R_Magazine
      @RetroRiders_250R_Magazine  3 роки тому +1

      I don't know the exact height. I googled it when I made this video. It kinda depends on where you hit it. In the video, when I run up the front of the wall it's around 285ft and then rip across the side, I'm still going "up" the whole time. I think I top-out somewhere around 500ft. I'd love to go back with a good GPS and track the exact run.

    that´s a nice atv, you have done a great work. I´m working on mine trx250r 1987, but it really needs love, it was trashed for a long time, but now its breathing again. I would like you see my video, and give me you opinion about it.
