Gales Creek, Storey Burn, Browns Camp Trails

Not a destination trail, but the climb is pleasant and the winding, hillside descent is a hoot.

Although the trail dries out quickly, expect very wet conditions in the early Spring and after a heavy rain.

The northern Gales Creek trail section (which follows Gales Creek to Bell Mountain Rd) was washed out several years ago, and is now reopened for biking and regains it's ranking as the best singletrack in the area.

The washed-out section has been rerouted uphill and some other damaged sections have been reworked to help make the trail more sustainable under constant use.

The 7mi (2000' ascent) Storey Burn to Gales Creek loop option consists of riding to SR6, then riding 1mi (passing the Browns Camp entrance) to the singletrack trail which follows Low Divide Creek to the Gales Creek campground.

Gales Creek is often combined with the Browns Camp loop into a figure eight ride, but in that case consider riding the Browns Camp section CCW.

Browns Camp is a 7.7mi (1700' ascent) loop on some non-Orv singletrack, usually ridden CW but which could be ridden CCW as well.

This ORV area gets a lot of summertime use, but the singletrack is usually far enough away from the doubletrack to prevent user conflicts.

The Elliot Creek trail section, from University Falls back to the Browns Camp trailhead, is not very interesting and ends in a steep gravel road climb, making a University Falls OAB or a return on Saddle Mountain road (or the other gravel road drawn on the topo) suggested alternatives.
