Full-Day Mountain Bike Tour from Seattle: Duthie Hill, Raging River & Tiger Mountain
Spend a full day mountain biking the Pacific Northwest with a certified local guide: pump tracks at Duthie Hill, flow trails at Raging River, and technical lines on Tiger Mountain. Small groups, full-suspension bikes, and a catered lunch make this an accessible, performance-focused ride out of Seattle.
The Experience
Before You Go
Assess your skill honestly
Tell your guide about recent riding experience—routes are chosen between flowy Raging River and more technical Tiger Mountain based on ability.
Hydrate and fuel for 8 hours
Carry a 1–2L hydration pack and eat the provided lunch and snacks to maintain energy on sustained climbs and technical sections.
Expect variable trail conditions
Loamy, rooty soil holds water—bring grippier tires or be prepared for slower, muddier lines in spring and fall.
Follow trail etiquette
Yield to uphill riders, call out obstacles, and stay on designated singletrack to protect habitat and avoid trail closures.
