Loop up and through the White River Wildlife area, into the ghost town of Friend, around the east side of the Badger Creek Wilderness area via a one-lane paved Forest Service road and back down to Tygh Valley on a gravel road with expansive views near the end.
Eight scouting rides. Two community rides. More than a dozen mapped variations.
We just published the McCool route—but getting it ready took time. We rode it again and again, tested multiple options, and refined every mile before publishing it.
That’s the Dirty Freehub difference: routes that are vetted, curated, and maintained. If you value that kind of fieldwork, please support Dirty Freehub with a donation.
