The Trout Lake Endurance Ride takes place in the stunning forests of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near the charming town of Trout Lake. Riders travel through beautiful forest two-track and winding single-track trails with frequent views of the impressive Mount Adams. Along the way you’ll encounter creek crossings and a few bridges that make the trail both fun and memorable.

Ride camp is located at the north end of the field at Mount Adams Horse Camp, creating a spectacular setting at the base of the mountain. As you pass through Trout Lake on your way to camp, be sure to stop at the local gas station store for a famous huckleberry milkshake.

The Trout Lake ride has been part of the endurance community since 1990 and proudly hosted the Pan American Championship in 2003. One of the things that makes this ride special is the incredible local support. Community volunteers help throughout the weekend, and our local veterinarian keeps a close watch to ensure horse and rider safety.

This year we will also offer a 75-mile TYM relay, where two-horse/two-rider teams alternate loops. It’s a fun and strategic way to experience the course. Full relay rules are available on the EDRA website.

Good news! The Pacific Northwest Endurance Rides Blood Machine (aka Camilla) will be at Trout Lake for riders to use!

Why would I draw blood on my equine at a ride?
The blood machine can tell you how hydrated (or dehydrated) your horse is. This can help you with assessing your electrolyte protocol – are you giving too much? Not enough?

What Am I Looking For?
This machine looks at a number of different things. Sodium (Na), Potassium, TP, BUN and Creatinine are all worth a look. All of them, in one way or another, indicate level of hydration and muscle breakdown (both of which will change to a degree during a
distance ride). The printout will compare your equine’s values
with what is normal range. Specific values can be discussed with vets onsite (if they’re not too busy vetting horses!)

How much does it cost and where do I sign up?
You can pay for a blood draw on the PNER website. If you are a member of PNER, it’s $50. If you’re not, it’s $60. Or, you can check with the person doing the blood draws, or the Steward, and pay with a check or cash at the ride. (our preference is that you do it in
advance and bring your emailed receipt).
LINK TO PAY: https://www.pner.net/blood-machine

Andrea Hurn & Jala Neufeld will be bringing Camilla (aka the PNER blood machine). If you plan to utilize it please reach out to Jala to make sure there are enough rotors!

Don’t Fence Me In Endurance Ride | Central Washington

Beautiful, open country riding awaits on the Lakeview Ranch BLM land. These scenic trails wind through sagebrush and along striking rim rock formations, offering mostly good-footing two-track with a small amount of technical single track. This is not a difficult ride, making it a great fit for a wide range of horses and riders.

New this year: A 13-mile intro ride—perfect for those looking to get started or enjoy a shorter distance.

What makes this ride special?
DFMI is designed to be mentally approachable for both horse and rider. The course features one long 30-mile loop:

30-mile riders complete it once with an out vet check
50-mile riders complete the loop, vet check, then return for a shortened second loop

It’s a great balance of forward-moving trail and just enough technical terrain to keep things interesting and scenic.

Ride camp & community
Ride camp is on private rangeland with plenty of level parking. After the ride, stick around for the traditional burgers and a chance to relax, swap stories, and connect with friends, old and new.
