Description: This sweet singletrack connects with Alderfer/3 Sisters Park.From the lake house ride your bike out of the parking lot on the rode you drove in on.Just before the bridge turn right and follow the trail along the side of the creek. You will cross 2 bridges. After you cross the second bridge over Bear Creek. Pioner trail is directly in front of you. Cross Upper Bear Creek Road. As the trail [more like a bike path] turns to the right look for Dedisse Trail on your left. Follow the trail for about a mile and cross Upper Bear Creek Road again. Skirt the golf course,climb up a couple of switchbacks to the ridge. At the end of the ridge Dedisse Trail connects with Hidden Fawn Trail part of Aldefer/3 Sisters trail system. From here I like to take Hidden Fawn Trail to the parking lot cross over Buffalo Park Road, follow Evergreen East Trail to top of Evergtreen Mountain. Take Evergreen Mountain Trail West down to Wild Iris cross Buffalo Park Road to the parking lot follow Meadowlark trail to Homested Trail and finally back Pondarosa trail to Hidden Fawn Trail and Dedisse Trail. When I get back to Upper Bear Creek Road I follow the road back to the lake house. You can usually get maps of Aldefer/3Sisters at one of the parking lots if you are unsure of trails in Aldifer/3 Sisters Park. Ridden like this it makes about a 15 mile lolipop!!SWEET!!!

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

What an awesome trail! Tons of little technical sections for beginners and intermediate riders. Beautiful singletrack trail. Not the best markers but if you can navigate correctly, we made it to the lookout off Ponderosa trail and had a great 360 degree view of the valley.

Some great singletrack, a mix of technically challenging switchbacks, rocky sections and a 1mi climb from Evergreen golf course up to the top. This trail connects Dedisse Park to 3 Sisters/Alderfer trail system.

After reading the review I thought that it sounded like a good easy ride. Having never ridden a mountain trail I thought this sounded like an easy ride. Boy was I wrong. Let me start by saying that my X Country experience has been completely on flat land and rolling hill trails prior to this. This trail starts with a climb that almost killed me. I think I made it half way up before I had to hike the rest. To me the climb seemed pretty steep and difficult towards the top. However, once to the top, the trail was a blast. Some technical rocky areas, but overall the trail was fast with nice rolling terrain. We linked up with Hidden Fawn trail and made that short loop back to the top of Dedisse. And the best part, getting to ride back down the climb that almost killed me on the way up. All the switch backs keep you from getting up your speed too fast. But since I wasnt on a DH bike I wouldnt have been able to keep it under control if I was going any faster. We went on a Saturday evening and only saw 2 groups of hikers on the trail.
