Try #barebones…up hills creek lake- a former fire trail and a secret, of we…#locals. #oror

I’m local. They should have called it #ridgeline. Oh, I just suffered a grade4 A/C tear at 56!

Nice review, thanks! Upper Mission Ridge is also a fun descent, with a different character over some rock screes.

Go to where ever that is. Bend sucks

My favorite way to ride is to ride up the dirt road at the 214 trailhead and ride down the catamount. The logging on the road has opened up sections with amazing views, and the climbing is very mellow. If you’re craving a longer ride, there are sections of catamount that you can loop, or loop the whole thing. This trail is probably my favorite place to ride within a decent drive from south of Portland

Wenatchee is way better

Right... Snowshoers!

Awesome video love the commentary!

Sandstone, not granite. Sorry, I can't help but correct this.

Is that road at the end paved? Big Swamp Road / 2153 Can't quite tell on my phone. Thanks!

Heyo. Nice to see you in the neighborhood again. Just fyi, Devils Gulch had quite alot of work done a couple years ago which is why it's so nice now. It was definitely a mess prior, with a ton of small rockslides along those sidehills. Made for alot of annoying little loose scrambly climbs and descents.

That's a great old classic epic ryde don't worry about the motorcycles is very few this guy was spot-on with his review of the trail

Thanks!

Thanks!

Stay away Seattle Lol

Great vid and awesome trail! You should head to klootchy creek trails outside of seaside for a review. It’s turned into a pretty amazing trail network for us on the coast

Please don’t come hear. Your not really welcome here like you rude people think. Seattle is everything Bend doesn’t want to be. You people have ruined Seattle with your liberal policies.

Serious answer: Bend is trendy. Snatchee is sorta grimy. Also most people aren't really that great and just want XC riding.

I've been gathering info on this one, its only a couple hours away. How accessible are the roads to the trailheads at either end? Could you get to them in a 2wd Sprinter van? Looks like the southern trailhead is easier to get to? I'm thinking of riding it over a couple days, in-out from each end to the middle-ish or further.

I miss your content! Thanks.

Because Bend is the sh.t

Seattleites go everywhere. It’s a big city.

Beats me. Even for Portlanders. You have to go past so many amazing riding zones to get to Bend. I've been really trying to get some of my friends to think outside the Bend...

As someone who lives in the Dry Shtties, It's easier on my brain to get to North Bend than it is Wesnatchee.

2-3x longer drive from my house.

the clear cut portions are still very rideable 4 years later fyi

I have enjoyed and maintained these trails since 1984.

Come back brah? Where'd you go?

It's actually pretty cool in the winter. No people and some really wild rime ice formations on the wind exposed slopes.

🤘🤘

Damn, i was hoping for some insight but i dont imagine you have ever been taught the basics of satcom, whether an inreach or satphone, position is everything. Heavy overhead is not good for any of the iridium networks. Chose areas to get clear skys without cliffs or other low level obstructions along the way. And as far as the SOS beacon, it does not use satcom, instead just blasts on a 406mhz freq until you are found. Misuse of a tool doesnt mean the tool sucks.

It's cool to look at how bad some of Road 4109 was just a few years ago. Here is what some of those segments looked like on Memorial Day. It's still rough, but people don't abandon their vehicle at the side of the road these days. th-cam.com/users/shorts9QJGOeGgVI0?si=XWndUo6-Ibb1QRP7

Neat trail but built for the 1% of riders who can hit features like the ones built here

Recommending to climb Lil Maui? Seriously. It is ridiculous. Don't be that guy.

Haaa 😅

RAD... this is a nice preview of the Trans-Cascadia work party on Huffman Peak trail in June of 2024. Thanks.

Cool review of a brutal loop, that steep trail at the end is Bootleg Mtb. the 173 forks to the right and joins up with the bottom of the rogue trail.

just like being on an exprewssway, bikes are NOT permitted on michigan ave.

I have a car, but have biked in the city for well over a decadde and just purchased my first new bike in well over 10 years.

Love your commentary

Math is off a lttle. Gifford Pinchot is not point seven times the size of Texas. Actually it is 0.007 times the size of Texas. Texas is 132 times the size of Gifford Pinchot. Math is off for Rhode Island and for Connecticut as well. Thumbs down.

Awesome vid bro! Are there any super steep trails you'd recommend out there?? Always on the hunt for some good chutes

How long did it take to ride that trail?

Thanks!

We just hiked this today and I can confirm everything he said in the video is accurate.

I knew I was going to like this video when it started with “this is a 4 sandwich climb” 😂🥪

This trail is also pretty good on a motorcycle. Much better than pedaling
