From the jump this trail is unforgettable.
You start out by pedaling the 1.6 mile pitch-black Taft Tunnel, only seeing what’s illuminated by the lights you bring.
The temperature drops. You hear nothing but the sound of your spinning wheels and the echoes of dripping water and distant voices. Close to an out-of-body experience, no toad licking needed.
You emerge into blinding sunlight and stunning beauty including a waterfall.
You will cross sphincter-clenching train trestles and will encounter wildlife and more tunnels, though none as extreme as the Taft tunnel (which you will pass through again at the end of the ride).
The return shuttle trip will test those sphincters one last time, or you could choose to ride the gentle grade back up.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
This trail is absolutely incredible. We rode Oct 15, so none of the local watering holes were open mid-week but will be open Fri-Sun. We saw a total of 10 bikers on our 20 mile ride and a few deer. Trail in impeccable shape.
We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.
Went from about Plumber to will past Medimont over a few days period. 20 mile increments. Stopped at the bar in Harrison. Fun little place. Also rode the trail in town a little bit. That was ok.
Parked at the Plummer trailhead and rode to Harrison in mid-July. Ride to Harrison is great as it’s on the downhill grade. Yay! But you know what that means. Uphill on the way back so keep that in mind. The trail itself is still I. Good shape—there are some patched cracks but they’re not as bad as some other RTTs.
I wrote this trail from Harrison to Plummer. I especially enjoyed the ride across to bridge. The lake views are beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! I saw this trail on Instagram last year and promised myself I would ride this. I packed my things and drove over 22 hours with the strict purpose of riding this trail. Trust me when I say… ”Put this on your bucket list and ride this!”
Go to the website for Lookout Pass ski lodge and make sure there isn't a running event scheduled for the day you want to ride.
Five stars for scenery but the trail is coarse chunky gravel in places, rutted and used by ATVs that are sometimes going too fast. You definitely need tires 2-in or bigger.
