It's time! We're ready to celebrate the grand opening of Over & Out (Trail E) and Wild Waves (Trail C), and the completion of our Raging River trail system construction project.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring these trails to life. This is a milestone that has been many years in the making since DNR acquired this land in 2009, and we’re stoked to celebrate it together!
On Saturday, October 10, Evergreen and DNR are officially opening Over & Out (Trail E) and Wild Waves (Trail C), marking the final phase of trail construction at Raging River.
The day kicks off with a parking lot party at 12pm with music, food, and a chance to mingle with fellow riders and our community partners. At 1pm, we will have opening remarks from DNR, Evergreen, and Trust For Public Land, followed by the ribbon cutting. From there, riders can pedal up at their own pace or with our staff to the top of Over & Out. Stop by the aid station with PNW Components at the intersection that splits off to Over & Out or continue up to Upper Poppin’ Tops to get a bit more riding. Our trail builders and staff will be around until about 5pm to guide groups down Over & Out and chat about the build process.
