Living here in Pullman since February of 2000, I have had my fair share of outdoor experiences in and around the Pullman area.? One place I really enjoy is Moscow Mountain-just across the border in Idaho.? Some of my friends at the Outdoor Recreation Center (ORC) introduced me to a group of mountain bikers in the area who traverse the trails of Moscow Mountain on the regular.? Being the adventurous gnome that I am, I quickly gathered a group of friends to check out the trails of Moscow Mountain.? To my surprise, there are a bunch of interconnected trails all over Moscow Mountain.? After my first trip to Moscow Mountain, I was hooked and have been going back often throughout the year for the past 10 years.
The great part about Moscow Mountain is the diversity.? With a bunch of different trails weaving in and out of other interconnecting trails, the options are almost limitless.? There are trail lengths and difficulties ranging across the spectrum, Moscow Mountain is a perfect place to learn the sport of mountain biking or to challenge your biking expertise.? ?My first trip out there was more of a feeler, trying to get used to the terrain and ensuring I knew where I was and where I was going.? Now, I hit the ground pedaling and don?t look back, it?s truly a great place to bike!
While the majority of the land is private, the Moscow Area Mountain Bike Association (MAMBA), a group out of Idaho, maintains 39 mountain biking trails.? This non-profit organization conducts trail restoration events throughout the year.? Their website requires a donation to access the most detailed information about the trails, but the free access to the site is sufficient for most (bikemoscow.org). Additionally, some information about mountain biking trails can be found on the Moscow Chamber of Commerce website (moscowchamber.com) and Trails.com website.
Having such an amazing place to go mountain biking just down the road is one of the many reasons I love living in Pullman and being a part of WSU.? Keep in mind, the ORC has bikes, daypacks, and GPS units for rent if you don?t have the equipment to take advantage of this natural outdoor wonderland.
