The Quartz Creek Trail is on our return to ride list. It is very beautiful ascending through amazing old growth stands. We were unable to finish this trail due to the tangle of downed giant trees.
Snaggle tooth creek runs orange with minerals
Under a canopy of giants the roll is wonderfull on Fir needle duff, steep at times but smooth
Some mighty trail work has been done, but we passed above it and the trail became tangled
This is an amazing trail through HUGE trees
The Mt Adams Fires Smoke blanked out the sun into a erie orange glow. Ash was falling lightly like snow
The trail was an impassable tangle of giant fallen trees and we couldn’t even find the trail on foot. Even after a peanut butter energy bomb it was impassable so we turned around and enjoyed the descent from the day’s climb.
All I can Say is HUGE, This trail is on my return to do list, if it is cleared of the mega downed trees it will be wonderfull. My hats off to the trail crew... what a fantastic place to go to work..
