Trail Description:
This is another area of the Pilchuck tree farm and is not to be confused with Pilchuck at 300th st. The ride consists of fire roads and some of the most fun singletrack you'll find anywhere.
Some of the trails here have been closed because they were illegaly built and did not adhere to the Pilchuck land manager's environmental guidelines.
How to get there:
From I-5 take exit 212 and head east approx. 5 miles until you come to a stop at highway 9. on your left will be a grocier/gas (poor on user advice, but good for ice cream). This is the quaint town of Bryant. Go straight through the stop for approx .5 miles. turn left onto 59th. ave NE and go to the end of the road and a Gate. Park here (out of the way) and you shouldn't have any problems. Unload bikes and go past gate. the first trail starts on the right about 1000 meters from the gate. Look for marking other trails are further down gravel road approxamatly .75 miles.

April 23, 2007. the windstorm of 2006 has left this place pretty much unrideable. The first trail on the right is called "toaster" and at one time was quite a ride... pretty sad shape now

Clarification.This post is the Pilchuck Tract. Not the Armstrong Tract. Which is south of this location. From Steve's description, that's where they were riding. It was a horse area way before we showed up. Too bad you did not like it. There are several sections of swoopy fun middle ring singletrack and short, but fun downhills. Easily 20+ miles of good trail. Horse poo? Big deal. Don't remember any downfall out there and I have been out there several times throughout the summer.

I believe this is also called the Armstong Tract by the BBTC. Trails are basically only good for horses. Horses have cause long stretches to be unrideable. Other dry trails have been turned to deep sand. Horse sh*t everywhere! Some sections overgrown with many downed trees. Several people in our group broke out with hives caused by reactions to either horse hair or plants. Very unpleasant, not fun, I won't be back.
