This is a loop including Middle and Lower Flagline.

From Dutchman Snopark, head north to the top of Middle Flagline, then ride that all the way down to Swampy Lakes, and loop back around the south side of Tumalo Mtn.

Middle Flagline is closed until Aug 15th each year, so don't bother with this route before then.

Beautiful ride on a cool fall morning. Recent rain has it compact and riding nice. I’d imagine it’s an oven in here in the Summer. Super exposed. But today was great!
