Only had time for the abridged standard: ML, QL, ETS, OTG, FR, JR, NWT. Found a surprising number of puddles on the ascent, and even more from the top down. Where the water wasn’t pooling, trail tread was mostly 👍🏼. However, with the regular re...

Temps in the 70's and sunny -- perfect weather. Did the loop and sidetrip on the GPX download from the Navigation page - totaled out to about 20 miles and 2,300+ vertical. If you haven't ever ridden there expect some good climbs, some ste...

Like other posts have decried, this trail is really over grown and that is no exaggeration ! The last mile and a half mile was impassable. It’s sad that this trail has been neglected for several years.
It is super beautiful and is an awesome short a...

Did the short ride today, out and around to the logging road for the finish back to the parking spot. Trail very rough, many rocks on trail, some of them too large to ride over. Portions of the trail were very overgrow, difficult to deter...

I usually ride this at least once every year. This year I am a little late but I wanted to wait for the creeks to be done with the Spring thaw flow. Tired of getting wet feet at the first or second creek crossing. Today all the cros...

With the huge clear cut in the middle, it’s true that much of the old standard is gone. However, some great forest singletrack remains, especially around the perimeter. Many of these trails aren’t getting too much use lately, and are taking on a more...

Trails were great. Rosie Boa was a bit dusty. Did 2 loops: Rosie Boa and Fruend. Beware ticks as 2 out of us 5 riders got them.

Not strictly a ride report, as I haven't been out on site in person, but since I've lost my edit privileges to this site I can only post alerts in this fashion. According to the WTA website and hike reports, a major landslide has closed MF Snoq...

Husband and relatives riding on Mission Creek Road on their way to Devil's Gulch TH spotted a cougar sitting in the grass along the side of the road less than a quarter mile from the TH. Not agressive but would not move out of the area for 10 m...

My first bigger ride back at Tolt since the Big Clearcut: it's true that much of the trails (along with the forest) in the center are gone. However, some sylvan singltrack remains around the perimeter (especially on the north end), and a combin...

Had a great time starting from the North side at the park's parking lot. Headed up to the top of SST via a couple roads, Cougar and Cabin. The dry May was evident on the trails and the clearings were worn. The trails are wonderful and still plenty mo...

It rained the whole way up. I rode 3/4 of the way to Mt. Washington crossing. The trail was very wet and had small puddles, which caused me to fall going uphill (In a small downhill section). Once you complete the switchbacks in the forest area, the...

Spent the morning exploring the trails I haven't done before at Black Diamond. I've been away for 2 1/2 years so a lot is new to me here. It was a great time. I started on the west side of hwy 169 then came across and went East then North for a nice...

It was all good, and in great condition - but watch out for ticks! My riding partner picked up a couple of them on this trail. Some repellent might be a good idea.

Fun twisties working our way up and around. Great day. Trail is in great shape, just a few wet spots from some rain the night before.
