Teanaway trails

North of Cle Elum and low motorcycle traffic.

For them adventurous typs like the Cle Elum locals and Skookum and such.

This is a 9min video and it is helemt camera video of a group of motorcyclists riding one of trails out there. I think it is a collage at the beginning. I do recognize the first stream crossing but it was about 2-3 feet deeper when I was there Memorial Day weekend....so I didn't cross it.

I think I am glad I didn't go any further. :D

Check out around the 7:30 minute mark.....I think I would still be removing seat material from my rear if I rode that on my MXr. lol

Anyways I bet the trail is well suited for MTB's and make sure to have your narrow Hbars on. :eek:

Yah i was assuming that was Taneum since you ride out there alot. i was like "that don't look like Taneum, that looks like W Fork Teanawy... Haha then i looked at the vid title, i've been riding that for years. Usually hit it every other year. Quality techy riding all over that area. Unfortunatly a motorcycle poached into Paris Creek up there and totally destroyed a fun descent, turning into washed out powder. It's too bad because almost every other trail around that trail is open to motos, so that dude didn't have to rip it...

i'll be over there this Saturday riding up a few ridges to the north of there. Quality riding out there for mt. biking, i'd say Rat Pac would be the easiest thing out there in terms of access, and considering the raw rocky steep terrain.

Wow, I scrunched my arms in watching it, waiting to hang a peg or a handlebar. Whew! Wouldn't wanna low-side on that.

Nice to see that the Teanaway is still a riding heaven - - probably even better than the 'old days.' Spent few summers there as a teen. All the families from SuzukiLand (Dorstens, Sessions, etc.) would camp there and ride. Sometimes we'd pop over the ridge to play on the slag piles in CleElum or Roslyn too. Good times . . .

Thanks for sharing that Rhino - - brought back a flood of great memories.

Fred Sessions? Ben? Don't know the Dorstens.

I spent most of my young life (every Labor Day and Memorial Day) at the Coal Piles. For the MTB only crowd, the slag piles you pass going to Rat Pac. The ridge line and Bull Frog flats....the Power lines. Coal piles #3, #5, and #9. Those were great years (decades) Now it is a Golf course and resort. :mumble:

Sorry Rhino, I didn't elaborate - - Fred and Ben and all their kids. Harry Dorsten owned SuzukiLand on 99 in Lynnwood. All us kids particularly had a ball. Rode all day into the late afternoon and the floated with tubes down the Teanaway to cool off afterward.

#9 hill - - wasn't that the big baddy up in Roslyn? Whichever its number, I still remembering cresting the top of that and seeing nothing but a row of ties hanging out in space off the backside. A quick turn at the top or you were in deep doo-doo.

#5 is the large coal pile area at the end of the powerlines between Cle Elum and Roslyn. #9 is the mostly one sided coal pile near Roslyn and Bull Frog Flats. #3 is the one in Ronald that has the Tavern/Resteraunt named after it.

Ahh good times....really can't say it with words you had to be there.

PS- I don't really remember the Suzuki Land on 99 in Lynnwood (I grew up there and I am 31yo now) but the old Lynnwood Yamaha and Husky shop I remember. :D
