Review: Awesome trail close to town. There is a current logging operation going on that has a portion closed. Check with local shop to find out about alternative route. Or start at Buck Lake side and follow signs. Flowers were out in force this weekend!

Review: i read about this trail and decided to hit it up. awesome ride. the ride to get to the trail is grueling. it's a 3 mile gravel road, but it's all up hill. the trail itself is great though. clear, good width, nice drops. once you get to the top, the view is immaculate. and it's all down hill from there. there are some technical areas, but nothing too bad. beware of the roaming cattle! the one time i went, i ran across 4 different herds on the trail! can't imagine running into one of those things. ouch! SOME DIRECTIONS: 2 steps. (1) describes how to get to West Chewuch Rd. (2) describes how to get to the trail after the turn. (1) From Seattle: just before entering Winthrop on RT 20 EAST, turn left onto West Chewuch Road. From Winthrop: Head on RT 20 WEST. After passing Winthrop, turn right onto WEST Chewuch Rd. (2) THEN: Go north for about 5.5 miles and turn left on Cub Creek Road. Follow for about 2 miles to the roadside pullout parking area on the left. Start riding up the road and at the split, keep right. You'll pass a Cow interpretive sign, keep going. The trail starts about 3.5 miles up the road next to a Deer Country interpretive sign. This will be an upward climb the whole way.* Review edited 9/16/2008
