Poker Run Mountain Biking Trail

Poker Run Mountain Biking Trail

Trail Report for July 21, 2013

Location: Capital Forest, Olympia, WA

Facts:
  • 10 mile loop trail beginning at Fall Creek Parking Lot.
  • 5 miles of gradual climb
  • 5 miles of rolling descent, berm turns, and jumps
Landscape and Views: Forest and Clear cut.  I saw great views of Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens.  There were lots of ripe red huckleberries and wildflowers. 

Comments: 
There's a really cool technical section about a mile and a half from the start of the 5 miles descent.  It also has lots of fun little drop-offs and roots to bump over. 

Trail Quality:
The trail is in pretty good condition.  Trail junctions are well signed. There was only one muddy section.

Fun Rating: Really Fun!  I would bike it again! **** 4 stars out of 5
