Mountain Biking in Pot Peak Trail, Wenatchee, Washington USA
Trail length:
28.7mi/46km
Best biking season:
May through October
Wenatchee is the largest city of Chelan County, located in North Central Washington and lies on the west side of the Columbia River. The city is also known as the Apple Capital of the world, due to the valley's many apple cultivations.
Pot Peak Trail is located on the Cascade Mountain, close to Lake Chelan. It is 28.7 mi/46 km long, (loop trail) and has an elevation gain of 5000 ft/1523 m. The best time to bike this trail is between May and October. This ride is not suitable for beginners because it has a lot of steep uphill climbing and technically difficult single-track descents.
Even for an advanced biker, this is a very challenging trail and requires perfect physical condition. The 2000 ft/609 m downhill is long, fast and technical, but lots of fun. At the bottom of the trail, there is a campground where you can rest, because this loop ride is exhausting. Pot Peak Trail is a must for those who take mountain bike seriously. Don’t forget to take with you plenty of water, energy snacks, a map and a compass.
