Seven riders hit the trail on a dry day. I tested the Turner 29'er from Camas Bike & Sport. We climbed to the creek crossing then blasted back to the trail head. Sweet day, bike and trail were in great shape. Did I say Switchbacks?

If you like warm legs you better run up and down the road a few times. Its up from here.

A couple more switchers to keep you on your toes.
Great rest spot
Location: 45.697802°, -122.118981°
