BIKE
Bike activities include a mountain bike ride, road ride, and gravel grinder.
KETTLE CREST MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE
Hosted by Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance — East Chapter.
Starting from the Jungle Hill Campground, the trail goes up to Sherman Pass and north on the Kettle Crest. After wrapping around Columbia Mountain, riders enjoy a high-speed, rocky descent that benches across the steep hillside.
From there it’s just one more quick pedal to the top of Jungle Hill (make sure to take a right after the campsite). Then drop your seat post for a four mile, 2,100-foot descent right back into camp. A classic, high-speed Forest Service trail, this section sees few tracks, leaving it smooth and rut free—but can strain face muscles from smiling the whole way down.
Total Distance: 14 mi
Total Vertical: 4,000 ft
Location: Jungle Hill Campground (bring your own rig or get a ride with a buddy, there is plenty of parking!)
Ride Starts: 10:00 AM sharp, Saturday, June 29
What to Bring: Capable mountain bike, plenty of water, food for the trail, extra tubes/patch/repair kit, clothes for changing weather conditions
