East Branch Community Trail Updates

NEW HAND-BUILT TRAIL COMPLETED
It was nice to see both familiar and new faces among the volunteers who came out to East Branch Community Trails on Saturday, August 24th.  With their help, we finished the hand-built lollipop off of Short Loop at the top of the Climbing Trail.  This rugged, undulating hand-dug trail rewards you with a stunning west-facing view that perfectly frames Sentinel Mountain.  This new trail will serve as a connector for future developments.

DOWNHILL TRAIL IN THE WORKS
Peduzzi Trails has been hard at work on a new machine-built downhill trail at East Branch.  With this addition, you’ll no longer need to descend the Climbing Trail switchbacks from the Small Loop – you’ll be able to descend on all downhill-specific trails.  This new trail will be slightly rowdier and less refined than Downriver, so if you’re ready for a new kind of challenge you are in luck.  We are excited to expand our network to offer something for all riders.

The new downhill trail is not ready for traffic of any kind as there is heavy equipment on the slopes.  Please be respectful of construction.
