Trail systems clustered around Saint Helens offer classic Cascades riding.

There are plenty of great camping opportunities, with lodging limited to towns along the state routes.

Most of the trails are easily accessible and are well used, so maintenance is not generally an issue once the forest service has time time in the Spring to deal with treefall and other obstacles to epic mountainbiking rides.

Ape Canyon/Plains of Abraham, Goat Mountain, Lewis River, Siouxon Creek offer great destination riding, well worth the drive.

2020 Big Hollow Fire: The Siouxon area was damaged by the fire. See the Gifford Pinchot NF Site for closures.

As always, it is best to call the local Ranger District for trail conditions and other restrictions prior to riding, as the NF website may not contain trip-specific details.
