Submitted Tue, 04/10/2012 - 8:51pm by Ted

We got a call from our MTB buddies in the Gorge letting us know that the Kreps family ranch is moving cattle and need access to the corral area at the Spring St. trailhead. So please don't park there and use a different trailhead access points if possible.

March 18th HRATS Work Party #1 Re-Cap and Photos

Submitted Mon, 03/19/2012 - 5:00pm by HRATS

Source: Hood River Area Trail Stewards

56 Volunteers, 12 dogs and one dozen sugar coated donuts. A handful of folks drove from Bend & Portland to assist in “Operation Storm Recovery”. Two ‘Husbands’ worked hard for their MTB ‘Wives’ who couldn’t be here really impressed us. Something really special has been created and the momentum is now rolling forward. If the Mayor arrived it would have been a “red carpet” scenario!

A Finn rides Mount St Helens

Submitted Thu, 09/15/2011 - 9:21pm by DAnderson

Hello all, and greetings from Finland – land of thousands of lakes in Northern Europe. I work for Nokia and recently got a chance to spend a weekend in Seattle before starting some work together with Microsoft. Some 14 years ago I was hiking in the Mt St Helens area and thought It would be nice to go and explore the area on mountain bike. After some Googling around I found PUMP site and got in touch with David Anderson. Thanks David for excellent hints on selecting the trails to study.
