Great OAB from the Cascade Falls lot ... tons of smooth climbing and fast ripping down both directions. Be mindful of all season hikers, trail is visible for quite a ways at all sections but due to speeds non-bicycle enthusiasts could easily be in harms way.

Access Info

Either pedal in from Twin Lakes via the summit trails down or from Cascade Lake

Some downed trees and creek crossings. Roots have created drop offs which make it hard to climb out but OK on descents.

      More of a fire road then single track. Long climb.

      This should not be marked as a singletrack trail. Only a tiny portion near twin lakes is. The rest is double track, bordering on fire road. Beautiful PNW forest, but don't waste your time if you are looking for singletrack.

      The road is washed out about half way between the parking lot and the Mountain Lake trail junction. And by washed out I mean the road is gone and you will need to ford the creek or bushwack to the Mountain Lake trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
