Rat Pac
Info
Rat Pac Trail is a 4-mile downhill fast, fun swoopy trail. The trail has hard and easy lines and is well marked, there are structure options for more advanced riders. The trail is accessed from Cle Elum using a logging road climb or longer options from Roslyn with mostly singletrack leading to great views from slickrock on the top of Roslyn Ridge into the Teanaway valley. The hillside has several other trails worth exploring.
This trail is only 90 minutes from Seattle.

Very fun trail, glad we decided to check it out. We stopped by the bike shop in town before the ride, Roslyn Rides, and the staff there gave us a cool alternative climbing route to the top of Rat Pac. First we headed north out of town, rode a couple miles on a smooth gravel road, crossed the hwy,...
The Rat-Pac trail requires a fair amount of an uphill climbing, but well worth it when you get to the downhill. It is a 12 mile loop with a fair amount of technical riding. The upper area was a bit overgrown, and had some downed trees, but the lower area was in g...
Got up early this morning and did a quick lap on Rat Pac. Parked at Flagpole Park in Cle Elum, pedaled to Roslyn and went up Ewok, Crooked Tree and 4th of July to the Ridge Road and then over to RatPac.
Upper RatPac is really overgrown and has downed trees that necessitate dismounti...
Rode Rat Pac and South Teanaway Loop a day after heavy rains. Get the PDF map and...
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. Tough climb back up. We did some pushing. Rat pac...
I had a little bit of time in the middle of the day today to make the quick trip east over the pass. It was a beautiful day, and Rat Pac is an early fall classic, so I went for it.
I decided to try the newly signed ascent path (see the map on the page). It was not as easy to f...
I had to make a trip across the mountains for work and decided to bring my bike along to try Rat Pac. It was about 90 degrees out and I went up alone (not advised). I parked in the little parking lot across from the trail head to Cole Creek and then headed left down the trail until I ended up nea...
First time riding. The directions from Clem Elem starting point arent great. Take the coal creek trail all the way to Roslyn and then the trailhead is right near the intersection of Arizona and C Street. From there, follow the trail as it looks most ridden. We got lost near the top, but your ulti...
Beautiful fall colors - the vine maple is amazing right now, and the views of the Stuart range were breathtaking.
I had hoped the recent rains would have made hero dirt, but no such luck. It was over 80F today, and there was no moisture anywhere. Definitely some moon dust in places, but t...
