This Fall, Evergreen partnered with The Nature Project and M.U.S.T. programs to bring two "Intro to Mountain Biking" programs to about 20 urban teens, most of whom had never biked on trails before.

As we make our way through this fall season (and some of the best riding of the year) it’s an excellent time to look back at another successful trail season in the Methow.
This year our Methow Chapter surpassed 1,500 volunteer hours, built over 5 miles of new trail at Loup Loup and Sun Mountain, and maintained more than 50 miles of both front country and backcountry single track.

Larch Fest has become one of our new favorite traditions:

This year hundreds of families came together at Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park to celebrate Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day. With many local organizations and vendors present there was no shortage of games, activities and prizes to be enjoyed by kids and families alike. Bigfoot BMX once again hosted the "Squatch Fest" dual slalom races on the newly rebuilt Deuces Wild trail and their were racers of all ages enjoying the fun. Altogether we had more than 150 kids of all ages participating in various activities throughout the day. This year's raffle was the biggest we have ever done at Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day with 10 youth Marin mountain bikes being raffled off, 8 youth helmets and plenty of free gear to go around. A huge thank you to all of our participating organizations, vendors and volunteers for helping to make Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day one of our favorite days of the year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing to rescind the Roadless Rule that currently protects over 45 million acres of national forests and grasslands from development, including nearly 2 million acres of U.S. Forest Service managed land in Washington State. Rolling back protections threatens the recreation and conservation values these lands were intended to protect by opening them to future road development, timber harvests, and mining.
