First Attempt to Traverse Idaho

You don’t have to be an elite athlete or a famous explorer to embark on an ambitious expedition, get sponsored for it and learn valuable lessons from the experience — even if the trip doesn’t pan out quite as planned. And that’s exactly what Chris Minson and Steve Graepel did.

Minson, a 44-year old human physiologist at the University of Oregon in Eugene, and Graepel, a Boise-based medical illustrator and multimedia art director, 40, are both husbands and fathers who also love the mountains. For their most recent adventure, they set out to do something no one had done before — traverse Idaho from south to north by linking a series of remote rivers, roads, singletrack and hiking trails over an 840-mile journey.
