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?

Park near the bridge. That trail branch is for fishermen..forget about it.
Climbing starts here
Location: 45.700305, -122.121105
If you like warm legs you better run up and down the road a few times. Its up from here.
First set of switchbacks
Location: 45.700065, -122.119389
Legs and lungs just starting to warm up. Not technical.
Did I saw switchbacks
Location: 45.699256, -122.119217
A couple more switchers to keep you on your toes.
Great rest spot
Location: 45.697802, -122.118981
Nice little bench on the corner of a ridge. Rest and let regroup.
Stackup the switchbacks
Location: 45.702478, -122.110291

Point of no return
Location: 45.705999, -122.103982
At this point you might be thinking of turning back. Keep going its worth it. What's that? Oh..yes there ARE more switchbacks.
Down hill to the Creek
Location: 45.713072, -122.096043
On the way up, this is a downhill section. As you smile, remember you have to climb up the sucker.
More Switchbacks
Location: 45.714016, -122.092009
These switchbacks are the more technical. Have fun.
Creek..Bridge is still out.
Location: 45.715799, -122.085679
Oh come on. Cross that creek and keep climbing. Bring dry socks.
