From Portland drive east on US Highway 26 for approximately 42 miles. In Welches, turn right onto Old Salmon River Road [forest service 2618] and proceed 2.3 miles to the trailhead on your right.
Would rate this trail higher if it was longer. Actually a concise look at good PNW trail riding: beautiful forest trail along a flowing river. A small descent from the TH (climb on the way back), some bridges, rocky creek crossings, roots......everything you expect on a MTB trail. There is one ladder/step feature where you must walk up a small section of the trail. Bike access to the trail ends at the Green Canyon CG. You can return along the trail or make a narrow loop using the road that also parallels the river.
