This ride, starting from the eastern side of the Loop Trail offers a sustained climb up Badger Mountain Grade, then bisects the high undulating lands of the Waterville Plateau leading to the town of Waterville. The climb is scenic, taking you through dryland wheat fields and offering sprawling views of the Cascades. Meanwhile the Waterville Plateau, feels a state removed from the lowlands of the Wenatchee Valley. It’s quiet up here and you’ll roll past farms, ranches, aspen glades and small tracts of forests.
