Southwest.

Maintaining and expanding mountain biking opportunities across southwest Washington.

01 / Regional Overview

Where we ride.

The Southwest chapter covers Clark County and the surrounding area — including Bells Mountain, Cold Creek, Lacamas Lake, and the Siouxon trail network in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

The chapter has been active since the 1990s and has deep roots in the Portland/Vancouver metro area riding community. Year-round mild weather makes Southwest one of Washington's most active chapters.

The chapter runs regular work parties across multiple trail systems and is involved in ongoing advocacy to maintain and expand access in the Gifford Pinchot.
