Mountain Biking North-Ridge

*   Add a review
#168 of 1,214 mountain bike trails in Washington
#11,297 in the world

"The upper trailhead has a parking area. From here the trail drops into a rocky draw before climbing to the ridgetop via a series of switchbacks. Once on the ridgetop it mostly follows along the ridgetop crossing the high point of North Ridge where the remains of an old lookout may be seen. It then continues south to the junction with Mt. Clifty Trail #1321.1 approximately 0.25 miles before the trail ends at the junction with Cle Elum Ridge Trail #1326. Good idea to check with the Cle Elum Ranger District before riding this one due to snow. This is a long trail but mostly in good shape. It has a fun rating of 8 if your conditioning is a ten. Elevation goes from 2400 to 5900 plus some ups and downs. Campground closest to the north end of the trail is Lake Easton State Park.
