The best switchback climbing practice near Seattle! Love this place. 1100 feet of climbing in 4.2 miles for the entrire loop. Met a friendly guy with a weed wacker clearing the trails and he's trying to get the word out more about this trail system....

TKE was once my favorite local riding spot, but the logging and the use-pass turned me away for a few seasons. I decided it was time for me to dediscover TKE, so joined a few friends for an evening spin on some of the old standards and a few ne...

Submitting this a few days late but hoping this report can help someone grab this trail later this week before the rain comes in again. We started at the CCC Extension so can't comment on the main CCC trail. The tread was in excellent shape with just...

Amazing trail system of non technical and technical trails for hiking biking and horseback riding. But I gotta say, Full Suspension is the way to go when tearin' thru the endless sections of trail. We spent hours on Gnomes Trail, Once Upon a Time, Li...

I live 1 mile from here, and ride this in a pinch when pressed for time, and need to burn off some steam. LOTS of bulldozing, grading, and pre-housing-development activities, so most of the trails are hammered. I clear them as I ride them...

Beautiful fall colors - the vine maple is amazing right now, and the views of the Stuart range were breathtaking.
I had hoped the recent rains would have made hero dirt, but no such luck. It was over 80F today, and there was no moisture anywhere. De...

The trail is well-signed and easy to follow. There were some cows in spots along the climb but they didn't impact the trail. The ride reaches a highpoint after a double-track climb and is followed by a series of short climbs and descents before the r...

Signage is up and seems to be staying up so far. Some locals not happy about letting the word out.
All the upper trails are in great shape and draining well. Lower trails like Sick and Twisted, No Road, and Black Label are getting the last summer br...

I went out here with my 4 and 5 year olds just to hit the bottom parts of the single track and it was just covered in horse poop. Wow, I love the signs in the parking lot that say something like "pack everything out". I guess everything e...

Outstanding fall conditions; no mud pits/bogs/puddles anywhere, just a few soft "bruises" in places. Rode fast fender-free and came back spotless. Beautiful colors and pretty popular on a Sunday afternoon. Two thumbs up.

Rode the first half of the Adventure Trail (10 miles in-10 miles out). Trail is in great shape. Technically - beginner but grunt factor of intermediate. There is lots of elevation gained and lost but all rideable and fun. The part I rode...

not a lot to go on for directions. single track is grown over often but clearly used by horses. signs say no "trespassing" at every turn on and off the powerlines.

This ride is pretty dicey. Huge stretches of trail are currently unrideable.
The uphill from 4 th of July is a long trudge. Fire activity seems to have turned the entirety of the slope to loose scree and post-fire regrowth. ...
