Pounding the pedals! |

Feel like a spin? More than a million acres of public lands criss-crossed by dirt roads and double/single track trails offer experiences in the saddle that are virtually endless. The climate is perfect for riding with low humidity, clear mountain air, and plenty of sunshine throughout the season. Okanogan Country's scenic mountain biking trails are enjoyable for all skill levels, from beginner to the decorated warrior! |

Heart of the Okanogan |
Omak Mountain Road |
|
This is a good ride for beginning mountain bikers to develop fitness and comfort with easy terrain. It's also a good place for cyclocross riders to put in saddle time and build fitness. The road has very light traffic and the views out over the Okanogan River Valley, the peaks surrounding the Loup Loup ski area, and snow-covered North Cascades will distract you as you pedal on and on, and up and up. |

Palmer Mountain |
|
Biking Palmer Mountain in the autumn is especially picturesque when the many stands of aspen create a brilliant background. For those who want to "get away from it all," there are plenty of biking options on a number of roads and trails that branch off the main Palmer Mountain Road. You are sure to find a favorite spot to enjoy the quiet, scenic views of the Okanogan hillsides, aspen groves and grasslands, and the peaceful waters of Washburn Lake. |
