Ride Category: Loop
Ride Type Ratio: 100% singletrack
Ride Distance: 9 miles
Ride Time: 1.5 to 2.5 hours
Trailhead Directions: Take exit 95 off I-5. Follow Littlerock Road for a
few miles to the Waddell Creek Road intersection, turn right. Continue to the
next intersection, turn left onto Sherman Valley Rd, continue to the next
intersection, turn left onto C-Line gravel road. Continue a few miles up to
road C-6000 road on left. Follow until road ends at parking area.
Route Description: Directly SE of the parking area is the entrance to Mima
Porter #8 trail, cross the stream and at the first intersection in about 100 yards
turn right onto Mima Porter #8, follow Mima Porter #8 around and up Lost
Valley to the first intersection, continue left on Trail #20, at the next
intersection turn left onto Green line #6 back to Fall Creek..
Ride Summary: This part of Mima Porter #8 is remote and not very well
maintained. The soil is loamy and drains you of energy. The isolated and
very-deep-quiet-haunted-raw-forest feel is what makes this section intriguing.
Also know as "The Valley of Death". The descent down Greenline #6 is fast
with lots of tight corners thrown in. This section of Greenline #6 was logged in
the Fall of 2003, but the trail is still intact and almost as good as it was
before.
