Do NOT hike up the trail....North of the power lines in Tokul East. Or, just hike up the first trail exit you see to you left heading east on the SVT.
What's your favorite way up, just any given fireroad?Do NOT hike up the trail....
A. riders come down it at a high rate of speed and...
B. it gets really loose this time of year and hiking up it will do it no favors.
Soo.... I take it, "North" is on the left side of the powerlines (see the map) and just below the Tokul East letters and the upper fireroad? Is Ivan's the trail at the end of that same fireroad, or the one further East that has a bunch of other trails juncturing into it? (yes, that's a real word, trust me )North of the power lines in Tokul East. Or, just hike up the first trail exit you see to you left heading east on the SVT.
They're all good. But, I'm partial to some more than others.
Cool Cool! We are rolling a little later (my boss is going, so I can't leave too early. We are headed out from Mukilteo at 4, maybe 4:30pm and picking up one person along the way just off 405.I live 10 minutes away and would be willing to give you the tour. It's a fun place. I should be available around 3:30. Hit me up if that timeframe works for ya.
Room to expand out there? Absolutely. However, look at a topo map. The only area with any real elevation change (at East) is the ridgeline that has the current descents - Gun Range, LF, FT3k, OGDH, etc. Those descents are short because the total elevation drop is small overall. Once up top, the area remains mostly flat.Dang, if anyplace has room to grow, Tokul sure does.
Just glance at the green in the upper right! The existing trails are tiny in comparison! There's just that small detail about hours and hours and hours of advocacy and digging..... hrm.
DH/FR trails? That's laughable, Matt!which ones are the good dh/fr trails?
DH/FR trails? That's laughable, Matt!

Great attitude and for the most part, I agree!It is pretty weird to see people riding such big bikes there.
Nothing wrong with it, "ride what you brought", right? I'm not hatin' on that!
Just maybe consider that ~everything~ there has been hit smoothly on hardtails or light all-mountain bikes. Riding a lighter bike means you can do more laps at east or maybe add some west to your loop. It's not unheard of to bang out 8-12 laps on the tokul east trails...
Just also want to add that there are some very territorial local property owners adjacent to both tokul east and west. That's a large part of the reason you won't find maps on the web- the builders have had run-ins and you may too if you ride there frequently.
~*.... So please exercise courtesy and discretion*~
*intentionally* I believe.The map posted here in this thread is also very accurate. Though a couple trails are, "missing".
are u riding again? this place is super fun. sx trail would be perfictly fine.This place seems like it'd be fun to check out...unfortunately sounds like I'll hate myself riding the SX Trail...hah.
Thanks for posting the maps by the way!
