Whitehorse Mountain



Length 4.8 miles one way from Whitehorse Community Park Ball Field. Elevation change 1600 feet. Mix of gravel and paved secondary road. Suggest a bike with at least 1.75 inch wide tires and very low gears.

This trail is a challenging climb that will test your aerobic potential, but it is rewarding with many wide open views of a Jumbo and Whitehorse Mountains and the Stillaguamish Valley. The route I have highlighted starts from HWY 530 about 1 mile north of Darrington, but other combinations of routes are easily combined with this climb via the Power Line Road. It is easy to combine this with travel on Community Transit Route 230.
