Mountain Bike Resource - Trails - Devil's Backbone Ride Summary
Ride Description
This loop is entirely on trail and offers fantastic views. Start out by riding across a ridge called the "Devils Backbone" and then decend down to the Lake Creek Basin. This ride is unusual in that it ends with a climb back up trail. If you don't like the idea of ending with a climb you can shorten this ride by just riding the ridge top as an out-and-back. If you have two cars and want to ride more than 14 miles of trail, most of which is downhill, then use the shuttle system and leave one car at the bottom of the Lake Creek Trail on the Entiat River Road. Just combine the first 6.9 miles of this ride with the final 7.2 miles of the Lake Creek Ride. See the trail log for more details.
Directions To Trailhead
Drive Hwy 97 to Entiat. Turn west on to the Entiat River Road and drive up the valley for about 29 miles. Turn right on road #5900. Follow this road uphill for 13 miles ignoring a couple of road branching off to the left. Turn onto road #114 for .3 miles and turn right onto road #118. Drive to the end of the road where it meets the trailhead.
