Cave Lake State Park in Ely, Nevada is normally a 32-acre reservoir but right now it’s undergoing construction to modernize it and there is a tiny puddle. Nevertheless, we did a FANTASTIC mountain bike ride there one day. We rode the all the trails out here and they are pretty fun. These are intermediate trails with …
After our time in Lamoille Canyon we are now by Ely, Nevada up in the high desert at around 7500′. We have never been here either so we’re excited to explore. Our first ride was around the Ward Mountain trails. This trail system weaves in and around beautiful forests and hillsides. Juniper and Pinyon Pine are …
For people who live full time on the road traveling, we don’t really like driving. I can’t stand to sit for more than a few hours so we never go far on moving days. After our stay at Mt. Hood we did a 4 day move to Elko, NV. On the way we saw a …
On a cool morning we rode what we call the Bridle Trail Loop. This was not our first time doing this loop so we knew what to expect. The trail follows the Barlow Road – part of the Oregon Trail followed by pioneers in wagon trains coming to Oregon and wanting to avoid rafting their …
What we call the Cooks Meadow Loop by Mt Hood, OR is one of our favorite rides in the area. It combines two awesome singletrack trails into one loop. We climbed Lookout Mountain Trail and came down Cooks Meadow and I’d highly recommend this loop to anyone up for the adventure. What you’ll get on …
Summer in the west can be difficult. We managed to have clear skies and no smoke the entire time we were in Port Angeles and til the end of our stay in Cle Elum but it will be a challenge for the rest of our trip back down south. We left Cle Elum a few …
There are enough trails at Teanaway to ride more than once and we did. This time we incorporated a couple gravel road sections to get out to Mammoth Rock. We got off to a rough start when the gravel road we initially took ended at a gate and private property sign. We weren’t sure if …
Teanaway Community Forest in Cle Elum, Washington has something like 280 trails, though some of those are forest roads. The 50,241-acre landscape lies at the headwaters of the Yakima Basin watershed. Washington state purchased the land in 2013 with funding provided by the Legislature and established Washington’s first state-owned community forest. The forest contains nearly 400 …
This Gold Creek Loop has been on our radar the whole summer but we’ve been busy and finally got around to it. Although, originally we planned a different loop, we opted out of part of the trail and subbed in a gravel road climb instead to make it easier. Getting to the ride takes some …
The trail system in Port Gamble was such a hit last time so we rode there again. This time we started at the small park in town and incorporated some different trails. The system is very well laid out so you can plan short loops or longer rides and even has a bike park where …
