Hi I'm Judy Smith, I'm from Battle Ground, Washington, been a trail enthusiast for, trail riding enthusiast for many, many years. I'm here to talk to you about the best places to ride. To me the best places to ride are out on the back country. That is where you get your most experience, there is a great diversity in the kind of trails there are out there. You get your streams, your woods, your animals, your wildlife, your all sorts of places you get to go. Luckily here in Washington we have our beaches that we can ride, we have our mountains. Everything is within like a two to four hour drive. The lakes, and the high peaks, and as you get into trail riding more, and gain more experience, and of course then your level of difficulty will rise, and that is when you get into the really interesting places. And sometimes it takes your breath away, and I call them gut clenching trails. And you are looking way down there, but oh the magnificent scenery, the rewards the rewards are just endless. Happy trails.
