Leavenworth: Off of Freund

Leavenworth area: Freeride Downhill.

Leavenworth (10 miles West): 8.5 – 2 hours, easy, dirt road.

Leavenworth area: Freeride Downhill. “Crazy, Sick, Fun Relatively easy fire road duo track climb up to the ridge top and then a knarly steep, narrow singletrack descent w/no room for error. Two highly technical sections. The first is a hairpin turn followed by a nasty 6 to 8 foot boulder drop that’s rideable followed a short time later by a huge slick rock that’s super steep w/just enough loose gravel and sand on it to keep you traveling at a good clip before bailing off another steep drop which is also rideable but tricky. If you can find it you will most likely really like it or hate it.”

Wenatchee: Up Mission Ridge Ski area, take the Pipeline trail, and about half way in between there is the trailhead for The Stranger
