Rocky Top is a trail network near Yakima, WA off of Summitview Road. There are several miles of singletrack in mildly rocky shrub steppe goodness. The trails were designed by mountain bikers and are a fast, flowy loop with relatively mild gradients. The system in on private land and is operated by Single Track Alliance of Yakima.

Please stay off the trails when wet and soft. Fortunately the trails dry quickly. Yakima receives relatively mild winters, so the trails are often rideable for much of the year. Summertime heat can be quite intense in the region so the trails are probably best ridden in the evenings in July and August.

Watch out for rattlesnakes!

How to Find It
