      Washington State has one of the most diverse climates of all of the fifty states. Within a relatively short amount of time, one can roll down trails lined with thousands of wildflowers, open fields of grass, or through pine scented forests of the central cascades. Year round riding occurs throughout the state, but perhaps there's nothing like the transition from the daily winter deluge in Western Washington to the day when the right amount of sunshine and moisture in the soil comes into equilibrium and the term "Hero dirt" or "Velcro" comes out of the mouth of every mountain biker.

      Washington is an outstanding place to bring your mountain bike with and visit as much as it is to live here. With well developed trail networks like Galbraith, Duthie Hill, Leavenworth, Black Diamond Open Space and Beacon Hill to areas being developed by the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance and volunteers like the Raging River Network, Squilchuck, Towns to Teanaway and beyond, Washington welcomes mountain bikers
