Rocky Point

Our mid-week group has been rambling around the Northside of Rocky Point.   See the NW-Trail Alliance website for details.  Located about 20 minutes west of PDX.  Many thanks to Longview Pulp and Paper for allowing us to use their property!  
Having a map of this place is almost no use, because there are so many splits and offshoots.  Mostly tight, swoopy single track that is so heavily forested that it gets dark a few hours before sunset.  

Hands down, the best trail riding close to town.

Perfect for riding with the dogs.

Easily 10 miles and 1-1/2 hours of riding.  Average speed will be way low compared to other places.  

Steep but short climbs.  

Great single speed trail.  I use a ridiculously low 24 front / 19 rear and have no trouble staying on the front of a group.   

There is a faster set of trails a bit further up the road on the Southside.  Presently it is closed for logging.
