The Upper Mountain project is currently being constructed by DNR, Evergreen, and the local community.
We expect a grand opening of these fully shuttleable downhill trails in Fall of 2019.
The Lower Mountain Skills Park is open. Check out the lower mountain page. There are ~5 miles of cross country and freeride trails for beginners through expert riders.
Evergreen is partnering with the DNR to turn Darrington's North Mountain into a mountain bike destination. This has the potential for a showcase trail system that brings economic development to the town of Darrington and has the potential to be one of Washington's premier trail systems.
Multiple trails will be shuttleable and there is an old fire lookout at the summit. These upper trails will be up to 18 miles with 3200 feet of vert. This is going to be a large and varied trail system. It's going to be good!
The lower mountain skills park is now open with 5 miles of trails with jumps, skill features, and lower elevation loops designed for absolute beginner up to expert riders. Check out the Darrington Skills Park page.

The newest trail starting at the lookout gate is a really challenging, "black diamond" personality that will be a challenge for everyone. I just walked it "out and back" with the dog, but it was neat to...
Took the day off to make a nice epic at North Mountain. If you haven't done the park yet, come enjoy those trails. On this trip, I started early, parking at Whitehorse Park and rode the road up to the summit, had lunch at the lookout, and then came back down halfway and continued North around the...
Decided to go see the slide at Oso and go up to the lookout for a little excercise. For the ride, I parked at the Whitehorse Park ball fields and then rode the 13 miles up to the lookout for the nice views. The road is paved for 2.8 miles then turns to dirt. It can be done by car all the way up t...
