Washington riders are fortunate to have so many options when it comes to purpose-built mountain biking trails across Washington State.
With developed trail systems like Raging River, No. 2 Canyon, Beacon Hill, and others, the riding options seem endless from one end to the other.
But besides these areas, what makes Washington so special, is the 1000’s of miles of backcountry trails that take you to amazing places.
From lakeside strolls to alpine views, we have the best riding in the country for those looking for adventure and challenge.
Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance started its journey in the backcountry. Originally founded as the Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club in 1989, riders banded together to advocate for access to our already expansive network of trails on State and Federal Lands, leading to the partnerships we continue to this day to provide opportunities for new experiences, along with access to a massive network of trails.
In 2024, Evergreen Staff and Volunteers spent over 3000 hours working across the state on nearly 40 backcountry trails, exceeding 200 miles of maintenance on backcountry trails alone.

There have been significant disruptions and challenges affecting our federal land partners in recent weeks. We recognize the difficulties they are facing and have been actively gathering information to keep our stakeholders informed. At the same time, we are working to understand how recent personnel changes and funding freezes might impact Evergreen and the broader mountain biking community in the year ahead.
