Summary:
Just did a loop up Mission Ridge today and down Devil's Gulch. Everyone we talked to does it the other way, but if you are willing to do a couple of hike-a-bike sections this way is great. The views on Mission Ridge are worthwhile and Devil's Gulch is a ton of fun to rip down.

Recommended Route:
Up Mission Ridge, down Devil's Gulch. Mostly due to the fact that Devil's Gulch seems like a way more fun trail to ride down. Mission ridge has a bunch of straight steep sections, where I prefer the windy flow found of DG.

Summary:
I think the other reviews hit the main points, but I think they miss the cutural aspects of the ride. The approach to Devils is lined with ultra-hip ideas for exterior decorating around the house. Toss a car here, a broken wash machine there...

Good downhills, lots of chance to hate your eyes... look through the danger... Steep dirt cliffs to the creek in numerous spots.

A Washington Best? Try again.

Recommended Route:
Ride the trail for a workout or cruise the road.

Summary:
For me this makes one sweet loop. Ride up Devils Gulch and down Mission Ridge trail. The trails needed some attention after the storms this year. Still makes for a killer ride.

Recommended Route:
Up Devils Gulch all the way to the road, up the road to the Mission Ridge trailhead. Down Mission Ridge back to the trail crossing. At this point, those that want the easier way down can just go back DG. For the adventurous, up Mission ridge (down really)is the ticket. Even in dry and dusty condition like this year it's sweet singletrack.

Summary:
Easy climb up the road, bomber butter smooth singletrack downhill. This is one of the best rides I've ever ridden. One of the smoothest, longest downhills anywhere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great up and down.

Recommended Route:
FS road climb to devils gulch (standard route).

Summary:
This trail network is awesome. This reminds me of Sun Valley ride; smooth, twisty, killer singletrack. There are many possibilities for rides so don't ride up the road! Try the Red Hill section too.

Recommended Route:
Ride up Devils Gulch to the Mission Ridge trail. Go out Mission Ridge until you get the views. From here it's faster and scenic to continue down Mission Ridge to the bottom making a loop. It's a pretty steep and rocky descent. This is about a 3 hr ride for strong riders. Another alternative is to return down Devils Gulch and this is longer and a faster running descent on the buffed and bemred singletrack.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Tronsen Ridge. Miller Peak. Red Hill.
