Mountain Bike

Spectacular and remote loop in the Chamberlain Basin and Germania Creek area. Great views of Chamberlain Basin. All singletrack that in some cases is shared with motos. From the trailhead, take Germania Creek down 1.6 miles to Washington Creek. Go left and climb Washington Creek trail for 1.2 miles to a junction with a trail to Chamberlain Lakes. Take a right and continue on this trail for another 1.2 miles to another junction to Chamberlain lakes. After taking another right, continue for another 2 miles to the summit overlooking Chamberlain Basin, the lakes, and Castle Peak. Drop down into the basin and follow the steep and sometimes loose, sometimes faint singletrack down Chamberlain Creek about 5 miles to Germania Creek trail. Climb Germania Creek trail 6.1 miles back to the trailhead. Great mix of high mountain passes, great vistas, open sagebrush, forested singletrack, creek crossings, open meadows, and everything else you'd expect on a ride on the Boulder-White Clouds.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
