Voice Over Trail Reviews
United States
Приєднався 13 кві 2017
Based out of the Portland, OR area in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, whenever I ride a new trail, I bring along my GoPro and when I get back home I write a review. One of the obstacles I faced when I started mountain biking was deciding whether or not it was worth making the commitment to drive to a trail system without knowing ahead of time what the trails were going to be like. This channel is an attempt to solve that problem for the Pacific Northwest. Every now and then I get out of the Cascadia region, but this biome is my primary focus.

Gunsight Loop and Badger Mountain with a Radio
Переглядів 2402 місяці тому
I used my mountain bike to carry my radio to two remote summits so I wouldn't have to hike all day. It was a lot of work. I was tired. I was not in danger while in the Survivlal Shelter.
Gravel Biking Summits in the Gifford Pinchot
Переглядів 6003 місяці тому
I've been biking on some of the gravel in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest while carrying my portable ham radio transceiver with me, with a focus on accessing some of its many summits for the purpose of "activating" them for Summits on the Air. Since so many of the roads in the Gifford Pinchot are overgrown or rutted out, a bicycle is often one of the best modes of travel to "connect the dot...
Devil's Gulch Mission Ridge
Переглядів 1,2 тис.4 місяці тому
This canonical ride should be your first epic if you've never ridden an epic before. It's the perfect introduction to longer loop rides and the payoff in views makes it worthwhile. Located just outside of Wenatchee, Washington, the trail is located just past the town of Cashmere.
Tiger Mountain || I wish this was my backyard.
Переглядів 1,5 тис.9 місяців тому
www.patreon.com/voiceovertrails Located in North Bend, Washington, just outside the Seattle area, Tiger Mountain is the trail system you wish you had in your backyard. If it is in your backyard, you're lucky and you should be riding it because it's awesome. This is my first ride down Atlas and I really liked it. None of the other trails were new to me, but they were totally worth riding again.
Biking Trillium Lake and Eureka Peak
Переглядів 585Рік тому
www.patreon.com/voiceovertrails Located just outside of Government Camp, Oregon, Trillium Lake is a popular cross country skiing and paddle boarding destination. Eureka peak is one of the mountains that stands sentinel over Trillium lake and if you bushwhack to the top of it you can enjoy not seeing anything because it's forested. I used it to get points for Summits on the Air.

Epic Views and Everpresent Danger on Elkhorn Crest
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
www.patreon.com/voiceovertrails Trailforks: www.trailforks.com/trails/elkhorn-crest-trail/ The Elkhorn Crest Trail is awesome! It's also really dangerous and definitely has earned its expert rating. It's located outside of Baker City or LaGrande, take your pick. It isn't close to any major metropolitan area or even an airport. This is a remote adventure that's worth your while if you've got the...
Coldwater Peak
Переглядів 748Рік тому
www.patreon.com/voiceovertrails www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/55753781/ Coldwater peak is a challenge to summit on a bicycle, but the views are arguably almost worth it. Almost. It's near Portland and not too far from Seattle. It affords a great view of St. Helens Lake as well as Spirit Lake and the summit of Mount Saint Helens and the entire blast zone.
Ranger Creek Descent
Переглядів 944Рік тому
www.patreon.com/voiceovertrails Ranger Creek is one of the venerable 410 trails. It's often climbed as a couplet with the Palisades trail, and from the looks of things it appears that folks also descend it. Don't descend this trail when there's a perfectly good Palisades trail that is literally accessed from the same trail head! Anyway, this recreation area is roughly equidistant from Portland ...

It's now a lollipop that conveniently includes the summit of Bells Mountain instead of just being a random out back to a clearcut or a punishing sufferfest to Moulton Falls. Sword Fern Way is a new little loop ...
White River From Palmer Snowfield

www.patreon.com/voiceovertrails The White River Canyon extends up to around 1500 feet above the elevation of the top of the Palmer ski lift. If you leave a vehicle at the white river canyon parking area you can shuttle up to the Timberline Lodge parking area, skin up to as high as you want to go before dropping in, and get some epic turns down to the bottom of white river canyon with about 5000...
