Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking in the Lake Chelan Valley is an undiscovered “Fat Tire” paradise.
The Lake Chelan Valley is home to numerous trails and epic landscapes, most of which come under the
ownership of County, State or Federal agencies. Singletrack is the stuff most mountain bikers who have
gained riding skills crave. There is something about whipping down a hard packed narrow trail through
the woods in complete control.
Echo Ridge Summer Trails – (Length: 25 miles)
Originally designed for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing in the wintertime, hiking and mountain biking are
popular in the spring, summer and fall.
Pot Peak – (Length: 9.5 miles)
A real workout! It’s only 4 miles to the top of Pot Peak from Snowberry Bowl, but it’s steep enough to
make you feel it.
Devil’s Backbone – (Length: 13 miles)
This trail gives mountain bikers several options. You can be dropped off at either the Stormy Mountain,
Windy Saddle or Crescent Hill trailheads, or you can cycle along the Devil’s Backbone to the Crescent
Hill or Pot Peak trailheads.
Stormy Mountain – (Length: 1.5 miles)
The trails at Echo have seen some recent upgrades, with 7.5 miles of new trail constructed by Evergreen
Mountain Bike Alliance and the Chelan Ranger District. The new trails, combined with some of the best
existing trails at Echo, have put this trail system on the map for mountain bikers. The trail system is
conveniently located 10 miles from Chelan and Manson and provides easy access to rides, ranging from a
few miles to 20+ miles. Trails are very well marked and most have maps posted.
There are a number of trails in the Lake Chelan Basin which rank as epic rides. Pot Peak is just one of
them. Enjoy ten miles of an all-single, downhill track that drops 5,000 feet in elevation. The challenge is
the climb to 6,500 feet elevation before you get to enjoy this epic trail on the south shore of Lake Chelan.
