About the Trails / Ride / Grunt Rating:
The Raging River trail system consists of trails primarily through classic PNW forests. Our route will include well-designed climbing trails on the front side that lead you to the top of fast flowy descents with optional air and some root and rock tech. This ride is about ~5 miles with 1k feet of elevation gain. If riders want to continue higher, or if part of the group wants to do a second partial or full loop, those are potential options. How high we are actually able to go will be dependent on snow melt.
