Riding With the Devil: Mountain Biking Devil’s Backbone

High in the eastern Cascade mountains of Washington, a web of trails lead to some of the more remote, and legal, riding available in WA State. Topping out near 7,000 ft (some of the trail-heads start as low as 2,500 ft.) you can literally ride for days on mostly epic, raw singletrack and see nary another mountain biker. You’re more likely to see a few motos (whom we must thank because they put in LOTs of hours maintaining these hard-to-access trails) than anyone else. Otherwise, you’re on your own. You’re hard-earned efforts (hours of climbing) are, in this case, rewarded with a non-stop 10-mile descent towards Lake Chelan.
