I know i've post about Ranger Creek before but I'm eager to ride that sick piece of trail. Any clue what the conditions are like? :)

Rode it Sunday. The trail is in pretty good shape except for several fallen trees over the trail which are easily passable. We did Ranger Creek down and then finished on Skookum and it was a blast.

Have fun.

Casey, you spelled my name wrong. There might be a few other people joining us if we go. Ranger Creek is my favorite Washington trail.

i rode "up" Ranger about a few weeks back and it's not as fun going up.:)

i've heard that Corral Pass is now open. i'm willing to bet if you ride from Corral Pass you'll run into some snow on the first part of Ranger Creek right after you drop off the Dalles Ridge switchbacks. It's a shady spot that always takes a while to melt off.

Ranger is good.:)

There's also an alternate route up via Forest service road 72, much easier to shuttle. If you take the 72 there is maybe a mile of rolling elevation before the downhill. Fun stuff

:rofl:

Pip (proper spelling) is all about the shuttle...at least when it involves Ranger Creek/Palisades/Sun Top. His bikey is very not light.

It's off of 410 kind of close to Crystal Mountain and the road up isn't bad. My Honda Accord could make it up.

Pip,
Yeah that trail is a blast! I do have to work monday though, if thats the planned day. I work nights though, so if its morning/early afternoon I could probably go. Of course, I gotta get more than two hours sleep... last time I went I was far too tired and was super sloppy. BUT I did get a cool scar out of it!

Casey, what do you think about hitting Ranger Creek early so that James can come out and get redemption?

I might have monday off now, I'll find out for sure tonight. If I have to work, I just have to leave the trail by 2:45-3pm. Plenty o' time.

Looks like I have to work, but I'll go if ya have room. I've got the bighit in the shop right now, so I'll be riding the heckler. If there isn't room its all good too, I might take my cousin and have my dad shuttle us to the top for a few runs.

Pip- I've got a new phone, I'll send you my number, its the same, but my last phone died on me, so I lost your number.

Hey,
Its a little after 5am, I just got home from work.... overtime. Looks like I'll be sitting it out this time. I'll hit it this month for sure though, my vacation is the 11th - 30th, so I've got plenty of time!
