Default Salmon Falls bike trail

This place is towards the hills heading east from were I live, its a different ride compared to the Hazel. Really rocky and cliffs of death, i love it. it's my favorite ride. Its an in and out, not a loop. It's a 3 hour ride so it is a weekend only deal. The begining has a section were I am told that on average 6 people a year die on. I walk that section, not trying to die. Here are some pics.



Thats my boy Johnson there.

Looks cool, so different from here. I should get some pics of the bike trails in the Capitol Forest here. There are some crazy spots for sure.

I use to trail ride a lot on my dirt bikes mostly. Worst place I've ever been was in Idaho. A trail started cutting across a gentle slope and gradually became a sheer cliff with a foot wide trail and a couple hundred foot dropoff. Eventually the trail had a rock going all the way across at a 45 degree angle that I didn't think I could get my Honda 80 across. I found a spot where the trail was maybe 2 feet wide and had to stand the bike on it's back tire and spin it around. I thought I was going to fall off for sure.

Nice trail. Here in Canada there are a lot of rock gardens plus it's in the forest so you get a lot of roots from trees as well as it gets hilly so it's physically challenge but nice and fast.

Here we have tons of small trails. Nothing very long but some of them get fairly technical.
