Evergreen perspective:
"I think the coolest part of this project is that it’s 22 miles of new trail that will completely connect Sun Mountain with singletrack. This will essentially replace the need for riding to classic trails like Pete’s Dragon on dirt roads. It takes Sun Mountain from being an area for beginners and transforms it into a destination riding spot for all skill levels. This is what the Methow needs." – Josh Gewirtz, Evergreen Methow Chapter President
Local rider perspective:
"The Sun Mountain project would expand on an existing trail system that’s getting better and better. The scenery will be incredible looking directly into the North Cascades and you’ll be able to ride there from Winthrop too. It’s going to alleviate congestion in town and be an economic driver. I’m really excited about it–Sun Mountain is going to be a premier riding spot." – Frank Clements, local Methow rider since the early ‘80’s
