Description: The ride starts w/ a 10 mile climb up forest service roads. You'll start on forest road 72 for 7.4 miles. Then make a right up road 7250 and you'll come to an intersection at 9.6 miles. Take road 210 which ends at 10.2 miles. This will bring you to the beginning of the Dalles Ridge Trail #1197. Take this trail up for about 1/2 mile to Ranger Creek Trail #1197 and take the sharp right downhill. Don't miss it. Then let the good times roll all the way down to HWY 410.There is another trail that runs along side 410 and take you back to forest service road 72 and back to your car. This is not the easiest ride but well worth it. The clinb up the forest service roads is a pain(Ihate riding the roads) but the veiws of the Cascades is awesome! The ride down is pretty steep at times w/ tight switchbacks.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

We did this as a shuttle, I know weak, but we were time crunched. The first third is as flowy and smooth a single track as you have ever seen. At the horse shelter, where Palisades and Ranger intersect, the steep tight switchbacks begin. This has a monster elevation drop and it's tight. The last third is as close to how an Ewok in Star Wars must have felt.... flowy, smooth and too much fun. I recommend you cross 410 and ride Scookum Flats back to your shuttle car. That's a good day!
