Description for Salmon Falls Darrington Trail
The Salmon Falls Darrington Trail starts just off Salmon Falls Rd and traces around the shore of Folsom Lake. It is an intermediate level ride. There is free parking south of bridge and about 200yds north. In all the total ride distance is about 19 miles, stayed left all the way to peninsula and then back. Overall the difficulty is moderate to slightly advanced which may cause some riders to dismount for a quick hike-a-bike. There are multiple Y intersections, and trail runs both directions so watch the blind corners.

Firm believer in rating anything to it's most difficult level. Considering the start of this ride can easily put an intermediate level rider over a 60-80 foot drop with even a small mistake, I think it should be rated advanced.
Ride starts scary (see above). Single track has considerable elevation change, mix of very rocky with stretches of smooth trail. Several downhill/uphill switchbacks with a little finess required. Again several areas that might be considered more than intermediate.
Very fun ride UNTIL you decide to continue up Salmon Falls trail (note there is a small trail sign that routes you to the actual trail), Salmon Falls Trail is a small fire road that goes for miles uphill with no down hill. You want a workout and you are in Great shape take this road all the way up........
There are many trails off the main trail, if you haven't done this ride before take the advice I didn't, go with someone who has been there before.
Extremely Fun Ride
