Ride Summary:
Smooth ST, jelly leggs, exhausting, you'll get it all here!

Trail Description:
Smooth single track, a thigh burning climb, mountain meadows and a trip around the ultra clear Mad Lake make this ride a must for any serious mountain biker. The ORV trails are well maintained. The climb is a tough one but the descent over the hard packed dirt makes this a fast ride. Several birms exist and shoot you out the other side of the turn. One very technical section where the trail has been carved out through a massive rock slide.

How to get there:
Hwy 2 from Steven's Pass or Leavenworth to Coles Corner. Go North on State route 207 towards Lake Wenatchee. At 4.4 miles road crosses Wenatchee River and splits. Stay right for 1.3 miles. Turn left on forest road 62, for 9.7 miles than go right on gravel road 6210. Drive up dirt/rocky access road past Chikamin Creek Trail for 8.2 miles. Park at trail head. 4,800 feet.
