Directions - From downtown Hood River,
take State St to Highway 35 North. Cross over the Columbia River Gorge into
Washington state via the toll bridge. Turn right onto Hwy. 14. About 4 miles
after town of Bingen, take left onto Courtney Rd. Park immediately on left
in the lot. |
Description - Spider web of hard packed buff singletrack that spreads across a ridge overlooking the Columbia River. The trails are tight, fast, twisty and fun if ridden fast. Only a very small section of rocky terrain. There is one trail that descends right along the edge of the cliff. Unfortunately, a local rider fell to his death in May, so be very careful near the edge. Loops - There is no map of the area as it is on private land so you have to “wing it”. We got lost for awhile so can’t describe the loop we did. Start by riding thru the gate across from the parking lot onto an old paved road. An immediate singletrack on the left is a beautiful long arse climb, but at the end is where we got lost. The recommended way is to follow the paved road to a jeep trail that climbs up to the top of the ridge where all the singletrack begins. All the trails eventually do go to the bottom. What out for the poison oak- there is a ton of it. Also the biggest and tastiest blackberries ever!!!! Pre-ride Music: |
