There is 6" of snow left at the top of Pathfinder, 2400'. The lower half of the mountain is clear of snow. Last week's snow put a vivid white glow on all the high peaks.

For you Puget Sound gravellers, here is a longer excursion you can do when you need to add "Social Distance", or you "Wanna Get Away". I started early at the Kelly Road Junction with the Tolt Pipeline and headed East on the Pipeline Road. After...

Olallie rode pretty well today. Not a single puddle or muddy patch anywhere along the trail (Raging River was VERY sloppy on 3/17). The section above the first overlook was a bit gravely, and had several twigs on the trail, but dry and sn...

My neighbor had a gravel bike he bought 4 years ago and never used it! I was looking for one and took it off his hands. I drove to Whitehorse Park, where I parked the car, and began the ride past the Skills Park and then past the shuttle lot. I conti...

Did a single loop on Lower Skyline. The lower shuttle access road was flooded by the first creek's culvert that was clogged, or overwhelmed, and water rushed down the road. The road is no longer passable by car, or relaxing bike climb, for 50 yards....

Most trails are in good condition despite being wet. The trails are rooty but still very rideable. The wood features built ~10 years ago are disappearing back into the forest.
Across the road from the park entrance are segments of trails that were m...

Went to the Butte to do a sunny winter run but since the road and upper mountain had snow, I just started climbing up the downhill. If conditions worsend, I could turn around and enjoy the downhill. The weather front held off, and blue sky came out,...

Disclaimer: I'm an old guy (57) and I haven't been on my MTB for a year and half, so what was tough for me may not be for young folk. ALSO- I have Verizon wireless service and I get bubkus when I enter Moran State Park. Apparently T...

I just went out for a quick morning ride. I parked at the lot for the climb up Murphy's etc but it had been raining for days and I don't want to cause damage in such heavily used trails so from there I rode Tarbell the other way to Rock Creek campgro...

Went up to The Blanchard State Forest again to ride some of the trails that I couldn't last time when the rear hub failed. This time was much better and I started in the upper trailhead lot and climbed up to the Tango Waypoint using the roads and ser...

Snohomish side access was closed so you had to get to the park from the Monroe side. Trails were well drained except for a couple spots, but the soil was so soaked, trees were falling in many spots. River Trail has a big tree across it for the...

Decided to ride raging river because the weather was pretty yesterday. It was pretty muddy near the lower areas, but less mud than I expected.

Had a good time making two runs on the Lower Skyline Trail in a very light mist and overcast skies. There were three trees on the main road after the pavement, but now passable, need clearing of remnants. Lower Skyline is running great and clear of s...

Rode Swan Creek yesterday with 2 buddies. Talked to Brain (?) Gustafson from EMBA as he was doing some trail repair and gate maintenance. We rode every loop in the park. Trails were in great shape given how wet it has been. Only a few muddy spots but...

I went up north to try the Blanchard Forest again but the forest road, and probably parking lots, still had too much snow. The trails probably too. Came back to Everett/Snohomish and did Lord Hill. The snowfall has broke off a ton of limbs on the tra...

Thought I would see how the trails do after a relentless week of rain, rain and more rain. They were not great, lots of deep puddles and peanut butter mud. I could never get into a groove or flow because when I started to I was forced to...

Was able to squeeze in a run up to the towers and then came down the Springboards, and finally over to do Goldeneye, and Wishbone. There were a few puddles, but much better drainage is happening on the trails. There is 4" of snow there by now a...
