Popular Carnation Mountain Biking Trails

Mossy Mountain Way (It's A Bitch)

• 100 ★ 2.8 • 3,855 ft • 461 ft • 583 •

Black designation for the climb. Steep grade and loose surface in spots when its dry. There are a few spots of exposure on the way down, but not a trail worthy of single black designation unless you are talking about the climb....

Intro / Outro

• 75 ★ 3.0 • 1,017 ft • 58 ft • 417 •

This trail is freshly reopened. Thanks locals!

The Spine

• 100 ★ 3.5 • 1,778 ft • 64 ft • 402 •

Quick little bit of fun tech, a couple of roots off kilter, nothing major, super fun. Rebuilt July 2021 mostly along the same route as the old Spine. A nice alternate to riding the road.

Windy 90

• 90 ★ 3.5 • 2,221 ft • 19 ft • 365 •

Pronounced "Wine-D-Ninety", a windier remake of the old I-90 trail that was destroyed by logging. It's a fun winding cross country trail similar to the others nearby. The north entrance sports a very short jump line alternate from and...

Toothpick

• 95 ★ 3.5 • 1,854 ft • 3 ft • 364 •

starts off of the north road and hits the top of . It does have two optional stump drops on it. The second one is not rollable so go big. Turns are tight and the whole trail is a blast if you pedal hard. Some real fun style trail.

Root 86

• 75 ★ 0.0 • 1,942 ft • 56 ft • 346 •

Popular blue difficulty singletrack. This mountain bike primary trail can be used both directions. On average it takes 5 minutes to complete this trail.

OGXC Warning!

• 90 ★ 2.0 • 1,519 ft • 6 ft • 339 •

A short cross country trail with a few fun features to challenge yourself. 2020-05-20: It's fairly new, so go ride it to help it get packed in.

Tour de Stump Caution

• 80 ★ 3.9 • 3,743 ft • 50 ft • 330 •

Rebuilt in 2019/2020 after clear-cut damage. A tight, twisty and fun trail with plenty of little stuff to challenge you. It seems to flow better in the easterly direction, which is slightly downhill. Continue onto the new Bob's for more...
