Finally got a chance to ride these trails, and not disappointed! Mike-O-Rama is a gem: a scenic, flowy, dynamic loop that begs repeating. The tread was in great shape on both days that I rode it.
I also rode the scratched in downhill trail, an...

It's been years since I've been to Galbraith and it was just as good as I remembered! I haven't been there since before they started logging it and was worried it would be a shell of what it use to be but I still really enjoyed myself. Th...

This is a fantastic ride, there was still a lot of tree blowdown and a bit of snow on the upper section of the trail.

Parked at the north Smith Creek Trailhead and rode down Smith Creek and then FS-83 up to the Ape Canyon trailhead then the trail to Windy Ridge and back to the car. The trail is as loose pumice as they describe and has some rerouting especially at th...

I rode this trail for the first time today. I loved it! There were a few muddy spots, but the trail is very well-maintained. There weren't that many roots or rocks really - just enough to make it interesting. Bring your camera because there are some...

I called the ranger station, and they said the road in to the trail is closed on weekdays until some time in the winter. They did say that mountain bikes are allowed on any weekend day.

Rode from Ape Canyon trailhead May 28, 2016. Trail is mostly in very good shape; down low some water damage and a nasty hole that you will see on the way up and hopefully remember on the way down. We got up just about to the Plains proper before enco...

Rode from Duthie Hill on the north end to Issaquah Highlands and back, and found the trail tread overall to be in excellent shape: negligible mud/water, no dust... just tacky tarmac & hardpack. However, there are a few places with moderate to s...

Conditions couldn't have been any better. The wild...

Rained on Friday night, dry and sunny today. Conditions were perfect. The climb is long, but pleasant. About 2 hours to the top, but never so steep that you can't enjoy a conversation with your riding buddies. Topping at about 5000 elevation, you rea...

Great trail system! "Braking Bad" is very twisty (some sections reminded me slightly of Tapeworm) and more technical than the rest of the cross country trails. "Feedback" was a highlight, good flowy banked turns with nice packed dirt. Watchout for a...
