Ride Reports
Good in spots
Rode this for the first time today, a hot day on the east side. Started from south trailhead and the Loop Trail and Winston Highway were in good shape. Bugs out in force but it was cool in the shade. Rode to the northwest and missed No...

Amazing
Did the White River —> Corral Pass —> Noble Knob —> Dalles Ridge —> Palisades loop. Was motivated by Jack’s prior report, which I can’t add much to. This whole route is clear with exception of two step overs, recent and unrelated...
Bugs Galore
Rode the loop in a clockwise direction (i.e. north along Kachess lake then south on the trail). A couple of snow-slide banks in the pass then smooth going down the trail. Lots of snow melt water in the upper meadows which is probably responsible f...
Almost dry & snow-free
We rode OAB up the trail. We found two short sections of snow that should soon be gone. Heard there's some more in the hike-a-bike you do after the road climb. Got wet feet in one or two of the creek crossings, and the trail is muddy in one of the...
Excellent Trail at Kachess
Had a great ride at Kachess Ridge yesterday. The climb was tough but it can be done within an hour or two. The view at the top is great reward. Trail is in good shape with two or three small snow fields on the way to the saddle,...
After the Fire Fix
The Norse Peak Fire of 2017 has burned about half of this route.
Right now the trail is running good. Downed trees have all been cut, trail holes have been filled and rebuilt where needed.
The Corral Pass Road is still gated(...
Hate to be that guy...
Downhill riders on the ridge trail need to stay in control. 20 feet from trail start, two guys came around the corner. One guy saw & barely avoided me. The other fell trying to stop. I want to ride this, but it is really hard to rate the risk of o...
Trail in good shape
Shuttled a car to just below the first road crossing, since the upper-most gate was locked. Peddled up the last section of road, enjoyed the view, then rode the Suntop trail. Some of the tight switchbacks were a little dusty and loose, but overall...
Afternoon Ride
Great afternoon ride. It was 93 degrees down in Chelan but about 85 at Echo Ridge. First time riding here and it was great. Trails were all in good condition and clear. Definitly dry in places and needed to keep distance from the rider in front. U...
Oh that hurt
My son and I rode from the Devil's Gulch trail head up to Upper Mission. Road was good, except a couple spots low where the creek continues to wash out the road different way every year, but it's pretty easy to pass.
The road from Devil's...
East Side Ride
Lots of loose rocks, some sandy/dusty spots but in good biking condition considering that it's open to motos. No trees down.
I still can't get anywhere close to being able to ride that scree field. So if you are merely a mortal expec...
Update on potholes
Just past the new Olallie Trialhead, there was a fill that Chicago / Milwaukie put in get the small valley a creek flows down, up to the railroad grade. They used timbers to create a structure, like coffer dams, that helped to keep the steep...
Still snow up top
Rode this as an out-and-back from the lower trailhead. I turned around at the meadow just below the saddle on the south side. Lots of snow as you can see from the photo. From that point down, there were just a couple of patches of snow. Otherwise,...

Jungle Trail is out from logging
Went out to the Lake Sylvia trails for the first time today. Rode north up the Brownie Trail, to Sylvia Ridge, then headed west to the Jungle Trail - until the recent clearcut demolished the trail. It was just at the point where it would have been...
Woodpecker, Petes and Magpie Awesomeness!
I participated in the 2018 Methow Valley Singletrack Celebration and Brewfest and it was INCREDIBL...
Drought & Wind
Rad day at Xan! No water anywhere though, and trails are bone dry and breaking up in the cruxes. Overall though, this trail is built so well that it’s still riding great, and will be self-healing with a little 🌧
Unfortuna...
Slippery When Wet
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...
Nice Ride-nice weather
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...
Instant Classic
This is a great trail with some nice trail segments that are seperate uphill and downhill. Lot's of up before the down. Thanks Evergreen!
Today was super nice out and a little warm. Took about three hours for me and my buddy to make it to...
Great ride, more vert than advertised
We rode Olallie for the first time today and agree with KentKangley, great bottom, more work on top. We did not get to the end but made it to the only question mark on the route, which is the y where the uphill trail goes to Mt. Washington.&...
Needs Crew Work but Beautiful and Remote
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 aweso...
Rocky road
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 de...
