Google Earth Community: Mtn Biking - Moscow Mountain

All trails on Moscow Mountain are on private land and are closed to motorized use. Please respect the land and wishes of the landowners.

An alternative to riding west on Foothill Rd from 4-corners is a small trail called Lower Tusk. It is named for the alder that has grown out from the bank in the shape of an elephant's tusk. To find the trailhead, go west on Foothill Rd from 4-corners. About 100' from the main clearing, look for a small opening in the brush on your right that drops fairly steep. You will want to walk the first part. Almost immediatly there is a log dropped across the trail. We leave this log in place to keep the motorized access minimized (landowners do not allow motorized use on Moscow Mountain). From here, the trail is pretty self explanatory. About 3/4 mile along the trail there is a small wood bridge over some downed trees. There is a path around the trees just to the right. After this, the trail assends up a short, steep, loose climb back to Foothill Rd. About 50' to the west on the left side of the trail is the entrance to Upper Tusk.
