Description:

Enjoy an autumn run through golden larch, quaking aspen, and evergreens in north central Washington. Whistler Canyon is located just a few miles south of Oroville, WA. Keep your eyes peeled for bighorn sheep and mule deer as you ascend the single track through rocky Whistler Canyon and up to Black Diamond Lake. The trail then opens up to old logging roads being reclaimed by the forest. This race takes you through sagebrush-steppe and montane forest ecosystems, with sweeping views of the valley below. The course features about 85% single track trail and 15% gravel forest road. There is approximately 8260 vertical feet, including a short out and back summit of Mount Hull.
