This epic loop follows narrow single-track as well as dusty forest roads through the spectacular scenery of the Chelan Mountains. Be prepared for extremely long and grueling ascents and descents. The southern arm of the loop is single-track with a stiff climb/descent, while the northern third is on forest roads and is much gentler. The middle section is single-track and mostly above treeline with some steep alternating climbs and drops. There is little to no water available along the route save snowmelt early in the season.
