Methow.
All-volunteer stewardship of the Methow Valley's alpine singletrack and modern flow trails.
01 / Regional Overview
Who we are.
The Methow chapter covers the Methow Valley in north-central Washington — a destination riding region known for its alpine singletrack, flow trails, and wide-open landscapes.
Signature systems include Loup Loup, Sun Mountain, Rendezvous, Chickadee, and the Gold Creek trail network. The chapter is an all-volunteer council with deep roots in the valley's outdoor community.
The chapter partners closely with the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and is in the middle of a major 35-mile expansion at Loup Loup ski area.
