서스턴 카운티 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Capitol Peak is one of the highest peaks in the Capitol State Forest. Views of the Cascades and out to Grays Harbor make the final climb up "The Grunt" worth the effort.

A picnic table marks the Mima Falls Day Use Area. To get a better look at the falls, follow a footpath through the brush down to the creek below.

If you're planning to run any part of this trail, show up early; the trailhead parking area only holds about 30 cars. You'll need a Discover Pass ($35 annual, or $11.50 day pass) to enter. In the eastern reaches of the park, you may hear gunfire from the nearby shooting range.

If you want a change of pace, you can hop off the singletrack trails and rip down (or climb up) some of the dirt and gravel service roads in the area. Even if your entire ride is on the road, you'll still get great views (and plenty of hills to go with those views)! That being said, the trails and road system intersect so much that it's worth doing a bit of both when out for a ride.

At an elevation of 2,356 feet, Rock Candy Mountain is one of the tallest peaks in Thurston County. The trail and road systems covering the mountain and surrounding foothills are heavily utilized by off-roaders and mountain bikers. There are a few different loops you can make out here, some just an hour long and others extending over 30 miles.

This is one of a couple beaches open to the public on Deep Lake. This picnic spot with a sandy shore is just off the side of the trail, and there is even a swimming area marked off in the water. The lake is a popular fishing spot, but it works just as well as a photo backdrop.

Millersylvania State Park is best known for its quiet camping options and the sizable Deep Lake, but it also has some great trails for hiking and easy mountain biking. The trails are mostly smooth dirt with lots of twists and turns. It's best to keep your speed down, especially on the narrow boardwalk sections.

This trailhead is open to motorized off-road vehicles. Expect to share the trails with ORVs.
