Great ride and great riding. I'm only 7 minutes in but felt compelled to comment - I wish that the "defenders of nature" could see this and realize that not all dirt bikes are for destroying hillsides. Everyone should practice their skills to achieve this level: you're not eroding the trail any more than a horse does. Cheers!
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I feel those of us that put out content publicly have a responsibility to showcase our sport in the most positive way possible.
Perfect conditions, i am envious. My trails have many side by sides on them nowadays and they kick up the dirt and make it very dusty. Like riding in a dust storm. I ride on days after it rains, sometimes in the rain even. U have to where a dust mask, i have a custom made washable foam one that fits with my helmet. Sometimes, we go two weeks without rain in the heat of the summer, and i am on lake michigan. You would think rain would be more periodic, but its not. Mostly dirt and sand, not alot of big rocks. The forests however are amazing. Upper penisula, it is thick and green. Some areas so think your boxed in and breaking thru all the brush would be a pain in the a ss so you stay on the trail. Bears, wolves,coyotes, wolverines, elk, etc. We even have large rattlesnake, although rare. We just do not have the mountains or elevation which is a different riding experience.
Exactly. In a former life, I did a lot of mountain biking, often on hiking trails listed in "A Foot and a Field" in San Diego county. Some of the trails were shared with horseback riders, and those animals can destroy a trail, especially after a rain.
Gorgeous trail! Thanks for posting. Love the approach to riding this terrain in a way that lets you still fully enjoy. It's amazing how quiet the bikes are, and I realized some of it is just you guys cruising and not reving the bikes out unless needed, which I for one greatly appreciate.
I rode this one about 2 years ago, but opposite direction (North to South). That exposure is where I apparently developed anxiety for the first time in my life 😂. Sweet trail, and amazing views! It was number 1 on my bucket list for several years as well. There are also some really awesome trails in the Taylor Park/Crested Butte area.
too bad i live in a small country where every piece of land is privately owned and there is not much trails like this.. watching all the offroad videos makes me wish i was born in the canada or usa :D such a beautiful land you got there.
21 hour drive to get there! I am in Monterrey, Mexico and it is also about the same time to get there. My wife will say “take me with you” if I go to Colorado, she loves it.
I agree with Brian C. It takes more than riding skills to keep these trails open. Get involved with your communities, engage the people who will vote to close the trails.
Single track is usually the hardest to keep open. Some folks in the USFS that deal with travel management don't want to admit the value riders have for technical single track in awesome country. They would soon close them, rather than take grief from the pro wilderness crowd.
It takes privacy and tight lips. Areas of USFS management like the CB area are great and offer riders an abundance of terrain.They however are in the minority. Most USFS agencies are anti dirt bike and would rather close trails than manage them. White River National Forest for instance have a dismal record and cater to the whiney city dwellers who watch this stuff on TH-cam and bemoan the actual stewards of the great outdoors.. Be careful who you talk to. Getting "Involved" with your local FS in most cases will get your riding areas closed quicker than the alternative. Remember Government is typically the problem, hardly ever the solution.
I know I'm late to the party on this video and I'm trying to watch all of your vids - this one is amazing like the others. Just want to say thank you for the great content and for once again setting your camera perfectly! Your bike sounds amazing, too. Love the ride! Would love to hit one of these trials with you some day.
Whoahh Greg, you are certainly living the dream. That part at 19:37 had me with white knuckles from hanging onto my office chair! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Your videos are the best on the net! 😃👍🏼
That is the next state of from me. It's only like a 6 hr drive for me and I still haven't done this trail. There are quite a few trails in the area way more difficult, but the views on this trail are beyond compare. Thanks for taking us a long for the ride.
What a beautiful place. Thank you for the great videos …. Enjoy your site very much. Question… what level rider do u need to be to ride in that area. Was a decent rider but 10 years off the bike and now being in my 60’s, working my self back into a decent skill level. Just purchased a used 2020 Sherco 250 se factory. Improvement over my 2004 KTM 200 exc.
Awesome vid. I live here in the PNW closer to N Portland area just got myself a dualsport and am really wanting to find places like this but have no idea where to start.
Look at map apps, Gaia, Trailforks etc. You can also use Google Earth to find trails. Also join local Facebook riding groups for the areas you want to ride.
Dittos Greg, have to agree with your assessment of this trail, just did it today north to south, and on my 22 Sherco SE 300, it has IMO everything a DB rider is looking for, some flow, some mud, roots, rocks, steep uphills and downhills, nice switchbacks, exposure, and most of all one of the most ascetic trails you can find anywhere.
This is only 3 1/2 hours from me. Glad to hear it's America best trail. Still need to make it to the north west Always want what you don't have. It's good trail though
Yes people travel from all over to ride some of my local trails, I know I'm spoiled with options. The big mountain rides are what I enjoy the most though.
Love your videos! one thing I thought I'd mention though (unsolicited advice, sorry) is that when you upload a video to youtube at 1080P it uses a different codec than if you upload the video at 4K, and the 1080P codec is significantly worse. Resolution aside, the 1080P codec causes a lot of the block artifacting you get in the video. I'm not sure if the device you're using for recording allows you to record at 4K, but you should give it a try some time. Upload the video to youtube in 4K, and people can still watch in 1080p if they like, but the 1440p and 4K versions will use a better codec and look significantly better.
As far as I know TH-cam has 2 codecs the crappy AVC1 and the better VP09. All my videos are already in VP09. I do record at 1080P so I have enough space both on my camera and also laptop once I'm editing the videos.
@@PNWEnduro Oh you're right, I see they're VP09 when I check the stats for nerds section. My bad. For some reason when I've uploaded videos in the past at 1080P it's just automatically done the AVC1 codec. But if I do 4K it always goes to VP09. I guess maybe I'm just noticing the lower resolution on my display as it's fairly large. Keep doing what you're doing! I hope this didn't come across in a negative way.
@Joel Blizzard all good man. 4K will force VP09 for all channels, but some get it automatically. Not sure exactly how YT decides who gets it but it must be based on views or regular uploading. There was a few other tricks to force VP09 but YT patched those.
YT seems to mess w/ things often - this vid (for me, even forcing 1080p/60) looks like AV1 even tho the stats say VP09 - lots of compression artifacts.
I live 3 hours away from this area, but have always been too intimidated to make the trip as a newer rider and not knowing which trails are more difficult vs fun and flowy. Need to figure out what I can ride and make it happen this summer!
@@PNWEnduro I know you think you are somehow helping the sport by keeping all the riding spots secret. You aren't helping by assuming everyone else is going to ruin it.
I did a whole video explaining my reasons, go watch it I’m sick of saying it over and over. You have no idea how much pressure I get to not talk about locations. For all the flack I get for not stating the location I would get ten times that if did. I share the information privately all the time but most people would rather bitch about it than take a few minutes to contact me privately so they can’t want to know that badly.
@@PNWEnduro I have not seen your video which you outlined reasons for not disclosing locations, which I understand there are plenty. Nice to know that you may share if approached privately. Great content you put out!
@@davidtkiwixtrainer2045 go for it. Those high elevation trail are generally getting snow covered again by October so the window is usually only June-September or if it’s a heavy snow year then could be July but there’s a ton of lower elevation and desert riding also.
I climbed a lot of stuff like that in Wyoming.....at that altitude there's not much oxygen in the air. I imagine the fuel injected bikes handle that a lot better than carbs.
This is very frustrating as the video looked good when I uploaded it and watched it back before publishing it. I don’t know what happened. Looks like I have no choice but to film in 4K going forward. Thanks for the feedback.
@@PNWEnduro Apparently if you render your 1080p footage at 4k, and upload that, views can choose a higher resolution, and the compression artifacts that hurt riding videos is much improved.
It’s weird, I don’t really feel the elevation much unless I get to a really technical section but as soon as I get off the bike and walk around a bit I really start to notice.
I've been blessed to ride trails like that most of my life but about 10 years or so ago so many people moved to Colorado and have overused many of the trails and caused many trails to be closed. Glad I got to ride them when I did.
I don't post locations publicly for several reasons. If you want more of an explanation I made a video to explain why th-cam.com/video/XWvkW6FyUcg/w-d-xo.html
I live near sea level. I did have one night at elevation before this ride. It's strange, I don't feel it much until I hit a technical section and start breathing harder, then I notice it. Even walking around off the bike you can feel it. Some people have a harder time adapting to elevation.
I'm just curious on how y'all can ride so far on a tank of gas I'm always terrified I'ma be 3 hours out and run outta gas I got a 23 yz250 and has 1.8 gal tank
We ride enduro bikes with a much longer fuel range, my tank holds almost 2/3 more fuel than yours. I will also pack a bottle of extra fuel strapped to the fender on these big mountain rides just in case.
I don’t know about hours but I get close to 100km (60 miles) before hitting reserve. Tank is 10.9 litre or about 2.9 gallons. My mileage is greatly increased by running a Smartcarb.
@Rob Noand lol YT pays next to nothing unless you are getting hundreds of thousands of views per month. I've stated my reasons for not posting locations many times already. People contact me privately all the time for info, it takes about as much time as bitching about it on YT.
I don't post locations publicly for several reasons. If you want more of an explanation I made a video to explain why th-cam.com/video/XWvkW6FyUcg/w-d-xo.html
* Please note I will not discuss locations publicly in the comments section.
Why
Because nobody needs every jack hole in the nation to go out and ruin it for the people that do know
Cause he's a dik
Why?
Why you wally - They are public and we don't watch this to watch you but learn about new trails. I think your ego's gone off the rails

It’s actually not even close.
Gorgeous trail! Thanks for posting. Love the approach to riding this terrain in a way that lets you still fully enjoy. It's amazing how quiet the bikes are, and I realized some of it is just you guys cruising and not reving the bikes out unless needed, which I for one greatly appreciate.
Thanks. It's a very long trip to get to this place so I'm definitely not in a rush to get through the trail. So much beauty to take in here.
That is some amazing country. My bike and snowmobile have taken me places I would have never gotten to anyway else. Thanks for sharing.
One of the most amazing trail rides I’ve seen. The bike provided a great soundtrack!

Incredible scenery! It’s so great that the weather and riding conditions worked out for you so well on a bucket list ride.
It rained the night before, amazing conditions!
Thanks for sharing, I needed to see this today. So cool.
That is an awesome trail. You got lucky with the weather. I have been waiting on the storms to clear out. I’m going to try again in the morning.
Hi! My friend
Long time no see
Wow! It's a bike ride video that gives me the most surprises and healing
Have a lucky day
👍👍👍
Looks like evan creek trail. Rainer Mt. Much love from the PNW!
Rock side hill at 19.39 - I “paused” there too! Just rode it a few times two weeks ago. Nice riding!!
Not a spot you want to mess up on!
Slow and steady through the uphill crux! Nicely done. I hope you get to rides the other gems in our area. Enjoy!
Thanks. I did get another amazing ride in north of this area as well.
What beautiful places to ride! good video thanks for sharing. greetings
That's the best trail I've seen on TH-cam. Your bike never misses a beat too.
This is tied for the best trail I've ever ridden. Bike ran great with the Smartcarb.
That's absolutely beautiful. I might have to take the trip to do that while I still can.
Gosh what an amazing trail. Great video 👍
I just started riding in and around the PNW.
Damn, that's paradise right there! Gorgeous!
My absolute favorite trail of ALL TIME! I’d drive 24 hours from my home just to ride this once and drive back!
Yeah it was 21 hours for me and totally worth it. Best trail I've ever done.
@@PNWEnduro Id love to know i'm headed out that way about 36hrs for me
That is an amazing view at every turn
What a sweet trail!!

Not a wasted trip at all. Awesome!
Awesome! Did you make this loop? And if you don’t mind … how many miles did you do on this ride? How long did it take?
Yes, we did a loop. It was around 75km if I remember correctly, not sure the time, lots of stops to take in the scenery.

Good morning, Hello from deep south Texas. What trial / State was this?
See video description and pinned comment.
I’m sure this is somewhere in the comments, but I can’t find… please Which trail is this?
I've stated in several other comments here that I don't disclose locations publicly.
@@PNWEnduro yes just watched your video on it, but you could mention the trail here and nobody would know😉
Sick views! Miss my bikes :(
Might seem like a random question mate, but how old are you??
Beautiful 👍👍
I know most of that trail is fairly easy. But I ride between 1kft to 6kft here. Elevation is real. Hard to breath the further you go up.
It’s weird, I don’t really feel the elevation much unless I get to a really technical section but as soon as I get off the bike and walk around a bit I really start to notice.
Not sharing great trail locations is the best way to grow the sport and raise awareness. Keep up the good work!
I just noticed, you went with different handlebar?
Yes, just trying out different models from Astra Offroad.
I've been blessed to ride trails like that most of my life but about 10 years or so ago so many people moved to Colorado and have overused many of the trails and caused many trails to be closed. Glad I got to ride them when I did.
Does he ever inform the audience what trail this is?
No
Not supposed to
This is a beautiful trail they don’t want it to get flooded with people
