Summary: This was a pretty good ride, lots of winding single track, some old over grown vehicle routes, lots of slick logs and exposed root, scattered quick steep downhills some with deep rutts and scatted stones and rock, there is really narly obstacle set up (the guy who built this stuff must be nuts); most is out of my league. Set up is complete with see saw, log runs, elevated wood runs varying from 1' to 2' wide winding and connecting to log runs and several 4'to 6' drops, well build course will have to practice and build the nerve to try the big drops and elevated log runs. If you have access to Ft. Lewis I would recommend checking it out, might have to wait till dry weather to try out the sick obstacle set up its really slick this time of year. I'll try to post some pics.

Summary: I would only recomend this trail to the braviest weekend warriors. Some of the single track is as narrow as 3ft and we all know how tricky that can be. There are even some fallen trees in the way on some of the great big wide gravel roads. This is just too tuff of a trail system unless you are a pro like Bill "One Lung" Smedlap or Gary "Noodle Legs" McLarrynut.
Recommended Route: Don't bother trying to find it. Go somewhere else.
Other recommended trails in the same area: the sidewalk around your block

Summary: I work on Fort Lewis, and I ride Miller Hill almost every day, and I along with an aquaintance of mine have built most of the more challenging trails on Miller Hill. The problem is that there is no map or any way to give directions to specific trails. So here is what I recommend. Miller Hill is surrounded on all sides by paved roads, and it is only maybe six square miles or so, so you can't really get lost. If you see what looks like a trail, take it. You may need to change your shorts afterwards, if you are not an advanced rider, though. There is North Shore stuff, and some very technical singletrack on this hill, if you know where to look. There are downhills on both the north and south sides, by the water tanks. Just look through the trees for the trailheads. We generally try to hide our trails entrances. Occasionally, there are kids up there playing, but not often. I have been running into two different black bears lately, one a female with a cub. They are generally fraidy cats, and will take off. If you are with someone else making noise, you will never see them. You must ride the ladders and teeter totter if you are into that, and there is what I call the pit, located just west of the Ed Center where you parked. This can be found in a clump of fir trees a hundred yards to the west(left, facing the Ed Center) of the parking lot, not up on the hill. Good four to five foot root drops, and many short seventy degree drop ins, and freeride type stuff there too. I highly recommend it for those of us that enjoy that adrenaline thing. There are a couple of fun trails from the top that lead into the pit, you should try them. I come down on the west one, play in the pit, then climb out on the east one. It is a challenging short climb, that will have your heart rate up, I guarantee it!
Recommended Route: Start behind Stone Education Center. If you don't have a DOD sticker, and you really want to ride Miller Hill, just stop at the Main Gate, and provided you have a drivers license, proof of insurance, and registration, you can get a pass. Just tell them you are going to Stone Ed Center. Heck, whats the worst they can do, kick you out? While you are at it, ask them for directions to the Ed Center!
Other recommended trails in the same area: This isn't what I would call a place to go and try to ride all day, like Victor Falls, but, if you live close by and need a place to hone your skills, this is it!
