      This is the best climbing trail I've ridden in the greater Seattle area. The best part is the consistent grade -- there is only one steep-ish switchback near Upper Poppin' Tops that seems challenging. Riding up this, and then down the flow trails, or the upcoming "Trail E" (under construction) makes a great loop that you can complete in about an hour.

      Well, you climb up. It's long and tiring and monotone but you do it b/c you know the flowy trails downhill will be amazing. A bit overgrown at the top section.

      Excellent climbing trail, very well built.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
