Rode all the way to Harris Lake. The snow's almost completely gone; there were 2 patches that were too soft to ride but they should be gone in a few days. That leaves about 10 trees in the trail that you'll have to get off your bike for.
If you're r...

Rode here for the first time in 2016 and the record winter rains have made mother nature very fruitful. I spent a lot of time cutting back the foliage and leafy handle grabbers. This is a great area just east of Duvall with a neat side trip to the fa...

Trail tread in awesome shape, and no mud/blowdown anywhere. A lot of the trails (mostly NE corner + about 3/4 of the clearcut) got a mechanical brushing, but unfortunately all the organic was just left on the trail tread to eventually break dow...

We descended a trail from cave be winery to the riverbed area below the gorge amphitheater. We then had to cross a large creek just below the amphitheater and continued on trail towards ancient lakes. It was flat with tons of wildflowers and bl...

My wife and I wrote this for the first time yesterday. It's a fairly easy loop with first little technical terrain. The main obstacle to watch for is cows and their fragrant pies on the decent there are free roaming cows. It is dry and many of...

The Buck Mountain Loop will be partially closed due to logging operations Thursday June 2nd and Friday June 3rd (and likely Monday June 6th - Friday June 10th). The loop will still be accessible and rideable from the Buck Lake side.

The West Fork Methow Trail remains blocked by avalanche debris from a very large spring slide a few years back (the slide came from the ridge across the river and crossed it). Clearing it will require Forest Service involvement as the scale and...

Wonderful day for a ride on the ridge! Concerns about snow at elevation basically evaporated once we hit the trail. Although we did hit some (mostly around .75 - 1 mile in) it was easily navigable and rode most of it on the way down. Fair amount of a...

4 locals went out to explore this trail for the first time this year. We unfortunately found the second half of this trail had so many treefalls that I don't think you would even want to hike it, let alone lifting your bike every 50 feet, sometimes o...

The trails all over the Manastash area are riding well. No wet spots. Gnomeclature is very grown over but should be easier to find once the grass dies for the season. Frisky Donkey CCW is sweet. The Pines is a great loop to ci...

As of early May 2016 this trail was in rough shape. the upper and lower sections aren't bad with a handful of trees over the trail ranging in size from small to massive. The middle 4 miles of the trail are in very rough shape. We ha...

Conditions are near perfect on Buck Mtn. Balsam root is about 2 weeks past its prime, but still nice. Weather was a bit cool with very light rain. What a great ride!

Rode Iverson, then Summit --> Off The Grid --> Fully Rigid --> Joyride --> NW Timber. Trails overall were in great shape, but very greasy conditions made for quite a challenge.

It appears the FS has contractors working their way down the LD, so between the upper parking lot and half way to the 3 O'Clock connector it's in good shape... but from there to the connector there are about a dozen trees down, many quite large, as w...

Trail is in good shape. Some brush. Use map or gps as trail is not marked.

Until Evergreen or DNR finish with the trails the only ride really available is the road in blue on the overview map. I turned off hwy 2 on to the forest service road and parked about a 1/2 mile in under the power lines.That starts your ride at about...

Rode Taylor Mountain on a Tuesday evening. Heading out from the Hwy 18 lot, the Holder Creek trail turns into a goat path, not ridable. Turned back. Went up Holder knob, gets pretty steep. Good traction but muddy areas pretty chewed up by horses. Als...

We had the Roslyn area to ourselves on a Saturday. Overcast skies and mild temperatures. This ride has a lot of climbing. We decided to head down to the Teanaway River. It's not so good for MTB's in that direction. Mostly sandy double track roads. To...

Parked at Mt. Si TH. Road CCC Road & CCC Extension, then back to car via MF Rd. A nice loop even though it was raining for most of the day. Trails were in good shape. Lots of overgrowth and downed trees on the northern section...
