• Asotin Creek

Skill: Intermediate
Distance: 14 miles

Map and Directions

This is a 14 mile ride close to Clarkston, Washington, in the town of Asotin. The main singletrack follows along Asotin Creek, which is mostly in a canyon. This ride is great in the summer as most of it is covered in shade. The trail is maintained by volunteers in April; so if you ride this trail before then, beware fallen obstacles on the trail.

• Cowhiche Canyon

Skill: Something For Everyone
Distance: 15 miles

Cowhiche Canyon is located in Yakima and has some of the best desert type trails around. This ride starts with a short hike off the canyon floor to a hill that leads to a diverse trail system of fast switchbacks and rocky paths.


• Devil's Gulch

Skill: Advanced
Distance: 15 miles

Map and Directions

This is considered one of the best rides in Washington. Located in Wenatchee, Devil's Gulch starts with an 11 mile hike that can get pretty tiresome in parts. Once at the top of the gulch, the view of the North Cascades is incredible and the ride down is even more rewarding. This ride is mostly made up of wide open trails through old timber growth and fast switchbacks. Not for the beginner rider, these trails are steep and fast.

• Mount Spokane

Skill: Expert
Distance: 10 miles

Map and Directions

Mount Spokane is a huge area with lots of great trails to ride on. There are steep rocky descents and fast fire roads. Most riders just stay on the Mt. Kit Carson trail that takes you back to the lodge at the base of the mountain. If you choose to go off on one of the many other trails on the mountain, make sure you have an experienced rider with you as it is really easy to get lost.
