Mountain Biking in the Yaak
The Yaak is an untapped mountain bikers' paradise!
The area has hundreds of miles of old logging and fire roads, many closed to vehicles, offering easy to rugged singletrack terrain. Take a ride into the backcountry to see the real Yaak and delve into the area's landscape and catch glimpses of its wildlife.

Within three miles of Yaak River Base Camp is Pipe Creek Road, a conduit to many closed logging roads that offer rides to a lookout tower, streams, wooded forest and meadows. Ride to the top of Hensley Hill (elevation 4,972 feet), which was the site of a radar station base during World War II, and check out stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding valley.
On your way back, stop at the Yaak Tavern and
hang with the locals over a couple Moose Drool beers.
