What a day! First time at Paradise Valley and it did not disappoint. The trails were pretty twisty and lots of roots, which made it challenging with the wet leaves, but I was able to stay upright for the entire ride. The parking lot was f...

You still have a some time to enjoy the whole mountain until the snows come again! No snow at the summit lookout (4000') at this time. Last weekend I broke a chain and only got in a Lower Skyline glide to the car. Today, I climbed up from the lower l...

First time at Edwards. It was a wet, wet, wet day but I just got a new bike and HAD to get out. It was super fun and not to slippery. There were puddles tho, lots of them. Nothing to stop the smiles, in fact they enhanced them. The trails...

Biked Cooper River and Pete Lake to the wilderness boundary & hiked to Pete Lake. The Cooper River trail had some crunchy snow in places but it's not bad. When you reach the Owhi Campground, the trail does not have a Cooper River trail sign, it just...

First time riding here, it was a blast. The trails are in great condition for fast riding. There are some areas with mud puddles, but nothing that stops you in your tracks. Not very crowded, some pedestrians, a few other bikers and...

As others have mentioned, extensively logged. There are a bunch of logs on Its A Bitch that you have to basically crawl under. They are high enough so you can slide your bike through, but not so you can walk, and the ground is covered with branches s...

Large fallen tree top across trail between cedar falls and Olallie trailhead. Needs a chain saw. Also one bare log across Olallie not too far from the entrance.

Rode Tapeworm day after a storm rolled through. No wasps that I found on the last bridge as previously reported, but maybe they were still subdued by the rain.
Trail was in great condition. No standing water and the rain gave everything some much ne...

Had a great ride until the end. I went up to the towers, down the Springboards, had my best run down Meetcutter, and then all the way down to the river. There was about 30 feet of beach with the low water level and I even grabbed a salmon. But on the...

Rode Esmeralda yesterday, 9/4/19 with a friend. Didn't see a single person the whole route. Glad that I brought my full suspension bike this time because it is a pretty loose, rocky climb. (the first time I rode this on my hardtail)
The trail is pre...

The trail would be pretty fun if the nettles weren't there. It would be great to get a work party going for this.

Been in Northern Europe for a month and needed a couple rides in the NW to acclimate to the NW again. I did them at Japanese Gulch with the limited time I had. On the Boeing side, 2/3 the way down, at the doubles there is a new trail that heads towar...

Rode it the day after a good rain as a stubborn mist tapered off: Ascended Bobsled which is in great shape (love that trail except for the bottom section, which begs to be rerouted so that it carries the rhythm and flow of the upper section). Then to...

Great ride! Steep climb either direction though. Climbed it the counterclockwise direction due to recommendation from the park ranger. It’s a little more gradual of a climb with more flat sections to rest than riding up the clockwise route. But, the...

For those of you in the know, Gold Creek in the Olympics is an awesome trail! But, unfortunately, it had fallen into disrepair recently due to lack of love and maintenance with downed trees and brush taking over the trail. NOT ANY MORE!&n...

This is one of my favorite backcountry rides; I love rocky rides. It was cooler on this day than other times I rode it, and that helps a lot in this part of WA. The initial rocky grunt gets done fast (watch for hikers) then it's much easier. Creeks n...

2nd time out here to ride and ended up with about 6 miles. Parked at the "Main Line" trailhead just off the highway and did it as a "see where I end up kinda day." Got incredibly lost & turned around due to my lack of planning and/or memory. TAKE A M...

The ground was bone dry. Only saw 3 hikers. There must have been a very busy trail gnome at work because all the vegetation was cut back resulting in some fast singletrack. My usual spot (when I ride with my wife) is Grand Ridge in Issaquah. I would...

The overview is a little misleading. None of the trails start from the campground. You have to exit the campground and follow the paved road west to the end and go around the yellow gate. The river run trail is a little hard to find but starts right...
