Ready to ride - it doesn't get better than this!
Rode this trail as part of a Ranger Creek / Palisades / Skookum loop - apparently unheard of in March!

It was my first time on this trail; it feels very Middle Fork Snoqualmie-esque. We rode Southbound / upstream. Conditions were fantastic - good grippy soil with a soft bed of needles and a couple of barely rim-deep crossings, but nothing deep at all. Shared this trail with a handful of hikers and 3 other bikers. A few punchy little climbs that I completed, and a few that I didn't - this time. There were no blown-down obstructions that couldn't be ridden around thanks to the clearing crew last weekend http://forums.mtbr.com/washington/hwy-410-trails-late-feb-2015-a-950367.html.
