Overview
The Liberty Lake Loop Trail is more frequently traveled by hikers, but it's also a fun option for bikers. Just know that you'll have plenty of company during certain times of the day and especially on weekends. <br><br>The trail begins as a smooth stroller path and advances to lung-and-leg crushing singletrack and switchbacks. There are some fun punchy sections before it gets serious. Though at some point you'll probably end up hike-a-biking. The descent is steep, wide, straight, nontechnical, and just engaging enough to keep you interested. I rode it clockwise, but could see myself doing all sorts of variations depending on my mood. Each section of trail is very different. <br><br>If conditions are warm and you have the time, the beach near the trailhead makes a nice post-ride cool-down.
