Mount Adams Country Bike Tour - Forest Route Loop
Cycling Route
Details
53.45 mi
4,151 ft
From Trout Lake, climb 14.5 miles (2,000’ gain), including a short 10% incline and then a long ride down, with waterfalls, creeks, eagles and all the majesty this special country provides. From there, a 10 mile climb up to Big Tire Junction and then on to a downhill you will never forget, back to Trout Lake, (3,800’ gain). Note as of summer 2018, Forest Route 88 is block to vehicles due to two large washouts. These are passable on foot (approximately 20 feet), but are not ridable. In addition to these washouts, there are three short gravel sections on FS 23. Additionally FS 90, is paved, but in poor condition.
