in our world an adventure bike typically has racks, maybe fenders (depends on the bike) and wide tires but not knobby tires. It travels very well on dirt and gravel roads and non technical trails. Many have swept back handlebars, rigid front forks.

As you are in Idaho - we rode from Jordon Valley to Grand View - Owyhee scenic bylands road - beautiful and perfect for Adventure bikes. (pictures and video on our website)
We were planning to ride from Boise to Sun Valley on adventure bikes but the fires have pushed that trip to next year. The loon lake loop is another trail that an adventure bike would be excellent for.

With a few modifications, If you think you would use it than it is worth keeping in your stable
