, from Tampa, FL Summary:
Used to live on Orcas & rode these trails extensively. The trail down from Cold springs is a blast, quite fast & a little sketchy in spots. There are trails for virtually every skill level in Moran State Park, But the trails close to bikes in the spring, check with the ranger station before you ride to be sure. When you get to Orcas, stop in to Wildlife Cycles in the main town of Eastsound. Nick & Carolyn have extensive knowledge of these trails & can set you up on some killer rides. They also have maps & spare tubes, believe me, you will need them! I miss these trails! Other recommended trails in the same area:
Sucia Island State Park

, from WA Summary:
This ride is closed to mountain bikes on May 15 so you will have to walk it if you want to check it out in the summer. I just rode it (March 6) and there is still snow at the top. Get to the ferry dock at least 60 minutes before hand as I hear the lines suck on the weekends and you might miss your ride. I would recommend catching the 5:15AM ferry to Orcas and catching the 5:10PM one back. You need that much time to checkout everything without being rushed. The Mountain lake ride is great for begginers while the single track that leads to the stone lookout tower is very steep and technical for more advanced riders. Recommended Route:
Get a map before you go!

, from Portland OR Summary:
Very sweet -- especially the single track which gets technical (steep descents, climbs, logs, switchbacks). The trails in the Southeast corner get very low use. I've been there only once and rode every day. Just beautiful! A word of warning -- nettles abound. Wear long sleeves and tights. Cheers,
Tim Recommended Route:
All trails open to MTBs in Morain (sp??) state park.
