This is a wonderful ride. This is an easy 15 mile descent with amazing views. Expect to get dirty and wet going through the tunnels. Pack a lunch. E-Bikes have no need to shuttle. Highly recommend.
When I first heard about this trail MANY (27) years ago, I said, "This must go on my bucket list!" This late July I crossed it off, finally. All I can say is that this trail is all that it is cracked up to be and MORE!! I was definitely living the dream!
The only bummer was having to rent bikes because we flew out! They were not the best because, of course, one gets comfort from their own ride. My husband's bike kept breaking. We had to fix it once on the trail side, with the help of volunteer Trail Patrol (Yep, they got 'em) and again at the bottom before our ride back up. We had decided to make the dream last.
I recommend checking out their web site, as there is very much needed info and you will know about special events that may hinder your experience.
We saw quite a few families with littles as young as 5 years old. The slow decent makes it ideal for them and there is a shuttle bus service to take you back up.
I just might ride again but I'll bring my own bike next time.
I rode this route in both directions on a bikepacking trip in July 2025. The first leg, we started at the East Portal Parking lot and rode all the way down to Saint Regis. The gravel is smooth and fast going downhill until about Saltese. Around Haugan, the mountains open up, the gradient drops close to 0%, and you're a bit more exposed to the sun. The worst conditions were the last six miles into Saint Regis. Noise from I90 was never an issue, and we passed less than three motorized vehicles the entire time. I'd highly recommend the section from East Portal until the Old Dominion trestle. Would be a nice addition to the Hiawatha for those seeking a bit more distance.
I rode this trail in the opposite direction as part of a multi-day bikepacking trip in July 2025. In general, the whole thing is pretty flat/slightly uphill, with the section between Marble Creek and Avery on Siberts Old River Road adding a little bit of up and down hills. The road is rocky and tough on the arms. I had 700x40 inch tires on a carbon gravel bike and definitely felt it that night. We averaged around 11 MPH, imagine you could do better going the downhill route. Spectacular views, particularly between Pearson and Avery, where you go through about seven tunnels and have towering pine-covered mountains and a deep river canyon below.
We were on our way to vacation in northern Idaho and decided to stop along the way to explore this attraction. We are very glad we did; the views were amazing and the tunnels were quite interesting. The first tunnel is the longest and gets quite cool inside, but after that, the tunnels are shorter. The easy downhill grade makes the experience very enjoyable. Overall, it was a first-rate experience.
Me and my family grew up camping on Lake Chatcolet and biking this trail. We love making a stop in Harrison for the delicious ice cream at Harrison Creamery & Fudge Factory
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 rode this trail in early September and fell in love with the experience. It is one of the first ‘destination’ trails we have done and it fueled our desire to ride more. The trail has a very easy grade, so we decided we would skip the shuttle bus that takes you from the bottom back to the top and just rode our e-bikes back. Did not need to use any throttle, the pedal-assist was all we needed. (We are recently retired sr. citizens). Saved us a few $$ and was very enjoyable to see the views coming back up the mountain. Highly recommend this trail!
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.
