NW Trail Sisters Guided Falls Creek Ride led by Metropolis Adventure Team

Join the Trail Sisters of Metropolis Adventure Team for a day in the Gifford Pinchot to experience this gem of a Washington trail. We will shuttle to Oldman Pass, connecting to McCLellan Meadows and then to Falls Creek Trail for a partial loop. We divide into groups based on ability, fitness, and riding goals. All groups will have the opportunity to session technical parts of the climbs and descents. There are many great snacking spots with a view, as well as some geological features unique to the Gifford Pinchot. Bring your sense of adventure and join us for a day on the trail!

Please assess your riding skills honestly. This ride requires fitness and technical skills. The trails we will ride are rated blue on Trailforks. If you enjoy riding 44 Trails area, Roger’s camp, Tiger Mountain, or can comfortably ride a couple of loops (to the top and down again) at Sandy Ridge or Post Canyon, this will be a good fit for you. Feel free to reach out and inquire whether this ride is for you! We want everyone to be safe, relaxed, and have a good time.

There will be a riverside BBQ afterwards hosted by Metropolis Cycle Repair. Stay for a beverage, food, or just spend time to chat with the other participants and make more ride plans! Make sure to bring your camp chair.
