Dalles Ridge, Little Ranger Peak via Ranger Creek & Palisades — Tuesday, Jun. 25, 2024

JJ here with the USFS trail crew,

On Tuesday, June 25th we started from the Dalles Ridge trailhead off of the 7250 road and set out to clear the trail from there to the bottom of the Little Ranger Peak trail. A few weeks before that we teamed up with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance (EMBA) to clear the burned section of Dalles RIdge, Palisades, and Little Ranger Peak trails. We ended up cutting out over 100 trees. On the 26th we decided to focus on making sure Little Ranger was clear of blowdowns and passable. We cut out about 15 trees and re-dug some trail in a few places. There are still some rough patches that we plan to revisit in the future so be wary while you are hiking or biking.

Happy hiking,

JJ Kalina
