Ride Summary:
Like the name says it rolls! Fast and technical in sections with a few steep climbs.
Trail Description:
The loop follows good logging roads up to the top of the ridge, then descends a wide motorcycle trail where you can let go of the brakes and enjoy a lightning-paced ride down in some sections and must slow down for steep rough descents in others. Unlike the other loops in the Taneum repitore, this one does not cross a single creek and can be ridden as soon as the winter snow melts.
How to get there:
Follow the directions in Route 17 to Taneum Creek Road. Drive up Taneum Creek Road (which becomes Forest Road 33) for 10.5 miles to a 3-way junction. Turn left on Road 3300, cross North Fork Taneum Creek, and park just beyond at Taneum Juncion Forest Camp.
Additional Notes:
Whoo doggies! Fun, fun, fun!
