Freund Canyon

One of the best single-track trails in the Leavenworth Area. This very skinny single track switchbacks straight up and then goes straight down with lots of fun jumping burms. Make sure to pause for a moment at the top and take in the beautiful panoramic views of the Leavenworth valley and the surrounding orchards. From the gate follow the dirt road to it’s end at 1.4 miles. Go around the right side of the large slash pile and curve around to the left (don’t climb up the slash pile). The single track trail begins on the other side of the slash pile. A little over 5 miles you will reach the top of the ridge. Drink some water, take in the views, rest your burning thighs. Stay to the left at the fork and begin the fast descent back to your car.
