Join the Mazamas for a hike up Silver Star Mountain, that may be awash in flowers or could be partially buried in snow one week before Father's Day. We can't know this when I'm scheduling the hike months earlier. But either way, if skies are clear we'll have views of volcanoes near and far, and as a bonus we'll get a little scramble (may need to use our hands) and walk through a rock arch. I've had every kind of weather on this hike, from rainy walks on snow to gorgeous days with volcano views flanked by flowers.

Starting at the Ed’s Trailhead parking lot, there is enough parking for about a dozen vehicles with Discover Passes visible. Carpooling is important. Higher clearance is critical, 4WD less so. Directions can be viewed at https://maps.app.goo.gl/dECb2PtQAnA9chmt5. 

As for the hike, it's like a dream compared to Grouse Vista's rocky trail. We gain vistas and wildflowers after a half mile of hiking and 400' of elevation gain. We'll hike the Ed's Trail loop clockwise, taking Ed's Trail and its scramble sections uphill and the old roadbed downhill. In between we will take spurs to the Indian Pits and finally to the Silver Star summit for lunch. Except for the spurs, we'll be hiking due south before lunch and due north after lunch. Our expected stats are 7.5 miles with 1,850' of gain.

There is also exposure with a few drop offs.

This is not a beginner hike.

We will be moving at a moderate pace finishing the loop in about 12-15 hours. If you wish to apply, you need to list distance hikes or Ultras or other long distance trail runs/hikes of 25+mile range.

The Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the nation's largest statewide mountain bike association, representing thousands of riders through regional chapters. Working with our partner organizations and land managers, Evergreen is committed to trail building and maintenance, sustainable recreation, advocacy, education, and supporting our community.

1. Donating thousands of trail-building and trail-maintenance hours to make sure we always have stellar trails open to ride, and hosting trail-building clinics to educate the public

2. Advocating for sustainable recreation and working with landowners and land managers to gain and retain access to trails

3. Teaching MTB clinics and classes for mountain bikers of all abilities, and getting more kids out riding through our summer camps and education program.

4. Empowering the community and volunteers to get involved to help amplify our voice and our power in the work we do.

NW Trail Sisters are at Stub Stewart for a chill, guided beginners mountain bike ride.

Meet at the main parking lot on Rocky Point road. Your ride leaders will meet you there, go over bike safety, talk about route options, and show you around!

Note this is not a clinic, just an opportunity to come together and ride with other women who are just getting into mountain biking.

There will be at least 300 feet of climbing. Though this a slower-paced, no-drop ride, please assess your fitness honestly to ensure are able to do this and still have a good time!

Please bring:

• Snacks and water

• A multi-tool, hand pump, and extra tube are also good to have!

If you reigster but find that you are not able to make it, please cancel your Eventbrite registration so our ride leaders have a good idea of how many folks to expect.

Hey NWTrailsSisters! Ever felt nervous riding steep mountain bike trails and wished you had the skills (and confidence) to crush them? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there!

That’s why NWTA is stoked to announce two upcoming women’s clinics designed to help you nail the fundamentals of riding steeps — like proper braking, body position, and where to look.

Both clinics will be at Rocky Point and led by @brave.endeavors. We’ll be focusing on the trails Pillow Talk and Phil’s Shred Factory (conditions permitting).

👉 If you’re an intermediate rider ready to level up your steep-riding game, these clinics are for you! You should be comfortable riding the trail Gritty Kitty and able to handle climbing at least 1,000 ft.

❤️ The cost? Just $75 per clinic — NWTrailSisters is covering 50% of the entry fee ❤️

We’re also planning a third clinic at Gateway Green, sessioning intermediate jumps. For now, mark your calendars and sign up for the priority waitlist at the Brave Endeavors website.

Celebrate the 42nd Ride Around Clark County (RACC) on Saturday, July 25, 2026, starting and finishing at the historic Fort Vancouver in Vancouver, WA!

This year’s theme, “See the Wonders of Clark County,” features five brand-new routes, each designed to showcase seven standout local sights. Choose the ride that fits your day:

• 18-mile Family Route: The easygoing choice.

• 34-mile Explorer: For a mix of town and nature.

• Metric Century: A challenging mid-distance ride.

• The Century: An epic 100-mile journey.

• 61-mile Adventure/Gravel Route: Want a little grit with your miles? Our Adventure/Gravel Route delivers a fun mix of paved and unpaved terrain.

RACC is a signature Vancouver Bicycle Club event, and every registration helps support local charities, so every mile matters. Along the way, you’ll enjoy top-rated rest stops matched to each stage of the course, stocked with favorites like our “world-famous” trail putty and homemade cookies to keep you rolling strong. After you cross the finish line, celebrate with a refreshing Ice Cream Bar, the perfect summer reward to share with fellow riders. And don’t miss the special edition RACC performance t-shirt to commemorate the ride!

Bring the Family!

VBC has made it easier than ever for the next generation to join the tradition: kids 12 and under ride free with a paid adult, and youth ages 13–17 ride any route for just $20 with a paid adult.

With a welcoming atmosphere and routes for every skill level, and e-bikes welcome, RACC 2026 is the best way to spend a summer Saturday on two wheels. For everyone’s safety, bicycle helmets are required for all riders.

Hey NWTrailsSisters! Ever felt nervous riding steep mountain bike trails and wished you had the skills (and confidence) to crush them? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there!

That’s why NWTA is stoked to announce two upcoming women’s clinics designed to help you nail the fundamentals of riding steeps — like proper braking, body position, and where to look.

Both clinics will be at Rocky Point and led by @brave.endeavors. We’ll be focusing on the trails Pillow Talk and Phil’s Shred Factory (conditions permitting).

👉 If you’re an intermediate rider ready to level up your steep-riding game, these clinics are for you! You should be comfortable riding the trail Gritty Kitty and able to handle climbing at least 1,000 ft.

❤️ The cost? Just $75 per clinic — NWTrailSisters is covering 50% of the entry fee ❤️

We’re also planning a third clinic at Gateway Green, sessioning intermediate jumps. For now, mark your calendars and sign up for the priority waitlist at the Brave Endeavors website.

More details and sign-ups are coming soon, join waitlist
25 August - 5:30p, Gateway Green
