Description

A multi faceted adventure starting from the end of the Entiat River road, climbing to the top of a ridge, and following the Mad River drainage as far as a trail will take you. This route takes you through multiple ecosystems, through the forest, along rivers, across rivers, and through burn scarred high desert with enticing views along the way. 

Much of this trail is open to dirt bikes which ensures the trail remains maintenance but only those on foot can compete the entire route due to multiple bridges out and washouts. Some on route improvisation may be necessary.

An adventurous point to point 50k with a straight forward car shuttle.
