Bootcamp is a really fun trail for all mountain bike riders regardless of its beginner rating. The trail loops from the main clearing and along the access road. The downhill portion is fun and a good start for beginning mountain bike riders. The trail is mostly smooth with not many roots or rocks.

Step It Up

Movin’ On

Movin’ On is another cross country style trail. It is more technical that Step It Up, with more features and some tight turns. There are ladders, bridges and skinnies everywhere, making Movin’ On a great training trail.

Ryan’s Eternal Flow

Trailforks | MTB Project
Intermediate | .29 Miles | 20' Climb | 117' Descent 

As the name suggests, Ryans is a fun and flowy trail. The line winds up and down a natural halfpipe with big, fun turns. Ryan’s Eternal Flow is rated for intermediate riders, but advanced mountain bikers will have fun playing on the optional jumps and features.    

Braveheart

Trailforks | MTB Project
Advanced | .39 Miles | 104' Climb | 102' Descent 

Braveheart is the only advanced rated cross country trail at Duthie Hill mountain bike park. Most of the trail is fast and flowy, with an entrance rock garden and an off-camber root roll bringing the difficulty rating up. Some of the climbs are punchy and tough.

Grand Ridge

Trailforks | MTB Project
Intermediate | 5.2 Miles | 1,083' Climb | 1026' Descent | 00:45:40 avg time

While it is not technically part of Duthie Hill mountain bike park, the Grand Ridge trail can be accessed from the park. Grand Ridge is one of the most popular cross country rides near Seattle due to it’s year-round access. The climb from Duthie is harder than the climb from the I-90 side, although both will help get riders in shape. The Water Tower Loop can be added in for an extra two miles of riding, too.

How to Get to Duthie: Parking and Directions

Duthie Hill is about a 30 minute drive from Seattle and just outside of Issaquah, off the Issaquah- Fall City Road. From I-90 East, take exit 17 and take a left to get to Issaquah- Fall City Road. There is also a parking lot on the north side of the park off of Southeast Duthie Hill Road. From this lot, there is an access trail that intersects with Step It Up, or riders can head straight to the clearing.

Typical Weather & Riding Conditions

The mountain bike trails at Duthie Hill are well built and drain pretty quickly after rainstorms. A high level of community involvement keeps the park in great condition, too. This makes the park a great place to ride all year long. Grand Ridge is also accessible all winter, however, it usually requires a couple of days to drain properly.
