New Buck Mountain Mountain Bike Route

Businesses will want to be aware that logging activity is taking place all summer in the Cub Creek Area. This affects the very popular Buck Mountain area enjoyed by mountain bikers. The traditional Buck Mountain route is currently closed and probably will be the whole summer BUT a reroute has been created which allows mountain bikers to still access the best parts of the trail. The new route (yellow/orange on the map above) starts and ends at Buck Lake.
As this ride is so popular you are bound to get questions this summer. You can recommend riders purchase the Amazing Map-West Methow Map which has the route on the map.  The route is well signed from Buck Lake including signage highlighting the closed areas. Methow Cycle and Sport is also a great resource for cyclists looking for more information.
