Did the White River —> Corral Pass —> Noble Knob —> Dalles Ridge —> Palisades loop. Was motivated by Jack’s prior report, which I can’t add much to. This whole route is clear with exception of two step overs, recent and unrelated to...

Rode the loop in a clockwise direction (i.e. north along Kachess lake then south on the trail). A couple of snow-slide banks in the pass then smooth going down the trail. Lots of snow melt water in the upper meadows which is probably responsible for...

We rode OAB up the trail. We found two short sections of snow that should soon be gone. Heard there's some more in the hike-a-bike you do after the road climb. Got wet feet in one or two of the creek crossings, and the trail is muddy in one of the me...

Had a great ride at Kachess Ridge yesterday. The climb was tough but it can be done within an hour or two. The view at the top is great reward. Trail is in good shape with two or three small snow fields on the way to the saddle, thi...

The Norse Peak Fire of 2017 has burned about half of this route.
Right now the trail is running good. Downed trees have all been cut, trail holes have been filled and rebuilt where needed.
The Corral Pass Road is still gated(and rumor is that...

Downhill riders on the ridge trail need to stay in control. 20 feet from trail start, two guys came around the corner. One guy saw & barely avoided me. The other fell trying to stop. I want to ride this, but it is really hard to rate the risk of othe...

Shuttled a car to just below the first road crossing, since the upper-most gate was locked. Peddled up the last section of road, enjoyed the view, then rode the Suntop trail. Some of the tight switchbacks were a little dusty and loose, but overall th...

Great afternoon ride. It was 93 degrees down in Chelan but about 85 at Echo Ridge. First time riding here and it was great. Trails were all in good condition and clear. Definitly dry in places and needed to keep distance from the rider in front. Uppe...

My son and I rode from the Devil's Gulch trail head up to Upper Mission. Road was good, except a couple spots low where the creek continues to wash out the road different way every year, but it's pretty easy to pass.
The road from Devil's Gulch trai...

Lots of loose rocks, some sandy/dusty spots but in good biking condition considering that it's open to motos. No trees down.
I still can't get anywhere close to being able to ride that scree field. So if you are merely a mortal expect some hik...

Just past the new Olallie Trialhead, there was a fill that Chicago / Milwaukie put in get the small valley a creek flows down, up to the railroad grade. They used timbers to create a structure, like coffer dams, that helped to keep the steep si...

Rode this as an out-and-back from the lower trailhead. I turned around at the meadow just below the saddle on the south side. Lots of snow as you can see from the photo. From that point down, there were just a couple of patches of snow. Otherwise, th...

Went out to the Lake Sylvia trails for the first time today. Rode north up the Brownie Trail, to Sylvia Ridge, then headed west to the Jungle Trail - until the recent clearcut demolished the trail. It was just at the point where it would have been go...

I participated in the 2018 Methow Valley Singletrack Celebration and Brewfest and it was INCREDIBLE!
These guys have made some new trails this year and they were incredible. Lower Petes (the new section) was totally worth the drive! Pete's is b...

Rad day at Xan! No water anywhere though, and trails are bone dry and breaking up in the cruxes. Overall though, this trail is built so well that it’s still riding great, and will be self-healing with a little 🌧
Unfortunately, wild...

Only had time for the abridged standard: ML, QL, ETS, OTG, FR, JR, NWT. Found a surprising number of puddles on the ascent, and even more from the top down. Where the water wasn’t pooling, trail tread was mostly 👍🏼. However, with the regular re...

Temps in the 70's and sunny -- perfect weather. Did the loop and sidetrip on the GPX download from the Navigation page - totaled out to about 20 miles and 2,300+ vertical. If you haven't ever ridden there expect some good climbs, some ste...

We rode Olallie for the first time today and agree with KentKangley, great bottom, more work on top. We did not get to the end but made it to the only question mark on the route, which is the y where the uphill trail goes to Mt. Washington.&nbs...
