The Pacific Northwest is known for its incredible mountain biking areas. The Pacific Northwest area is considered the area between mid Oregon to Seattle to Vancover B.C. While there are many excellent mountain bike areas in the Pacific Norhtwest, it's challenging to determine a single "best" area as it largely depends on personal preferences and riding style. Here are my Top 5 Best mountain biking destinations in the Pacific Northwest:

  1. Whistler, British Columbia, Canada: Whistler is renowned for its world-class mountain biking trails, including the famous Whistler Mountain Bike Park. It offers many trails for all skill levels and is mainly known for its downhill and freeride options.

  2. Bend, Oregon, USA: Bend is a popular mountain biking destination with various trails catering to different abilities. The area offers diverse terrains, including fast-flowing singletrack, technical descents, and scenic high-desert trails.

  3. Bellingham, Washington, USA: Bellingham has gained popularity as a mountain biking hub in recent years. It features a network of well-maintained trails with diverse terrain, including steep descents, cross-country routes, and technical challenges. Galbraith Mountain is a popular spot for riders.

  4. North Shore, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: North Shore is famous for its technical and challenging trails, often characterized by steep climbs, drops, and features such as log rides and ladder bridges. It offers a unique and thrilling mountain biking experience.

  5. Hood River, Oregon, USA: Hood River offers many trails with stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge. Riders can enjoy a mix of flowy singletrack, challenging descents, and epic jump lines at the nearby Post Canyon trail system.

Each of these areas have beginner to Avanced riding areas. Please always check trail conditions, permits, and local regulations before planning a mountain biking trip. Individual preferences and skill levels should also be considered when choosing a mountain bike area. As a new Mt Biker, pelase always wear the appropriate protection gear. Be safe and have fun.
