Info

There is some single track on the WSU Campus in Salmon Creek. It isn't well known, and it's nothing stellar, but if you just need to get some dirt under your rubber after work, it's worth your time if you're in the neighborhood. There is some genuine singletrack in the parts of the trail that run adjacent to Mill Creek. If you do some loops and make a bit of spaghetti, it's not impossible to put in 6-8 miles. If you need some climbing, you can climb the road to the top of Mt. Vista. It's about 500 feet of climbing. Do it three or four times and you've got your climbing in for the day! 

Supposedly the campus manages this trail. They don't get out there a lot. There are rumors about some guy in the neighborhood who sometimes does some work in there.
