The Echo Super Loop is a combination of the best trails at Echo Ridge. Loop can be ridden in either direction, so its really like two totally different rides. If you're pressed for time or not up for the whole 19 miles just check out the routes section for other sweet loops.
The Super Loop now includes the newest section of Bob's Trail that was opened in Oct. 2020 which has eliminated the nasty climb up Somewhere to Ride Trail.

You can now park at the bottom of Waterbar Heaven Trail to start this big loop. Just park BETWEEN the no parking signs. You’ll be on Forest Servive land.

November 2017 - We built a mile of new single track that will become part of the Super Loop. Hopefully, we'll get two additional miles constructed in the spring of 2018. The new contiguous segments will be in the SE corner of the trail system.

5/29/2016. The main parking at the bottom of this loop has been closed by the private landowner. USFS is working to restore nearby parking. Current parking options.....after Rental Cabin office go right up to Switchback Alley unimproved TH (.25 miles). Parking for 4-5 cars. Or go left after the cabin rental office to roadside parking about 1/8 mile (1-2 cars) and ride back down to trail. Stay tuned for update.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
