Submitted by: JIM HUDAK – Over the past two years I have taken up cross country mountain biking. Over the past 25 years I have had the opportunity to hike on a lot of the PCT (WA state) mostly as a trail to get to various mountains for climbing.

That being said, the PCT would be a great resource for the xc mountain biker. I find the overall respect in the mtb community second to none. Respect for the same things that the current user groups on the PCT embrace. I am in favor of mtb access to the PCT, where applicable, and believe it would be a great asset to a great trail and all it’s current users.
