Welcome to The Gorge is my Gym

Gym membership? We don’t need a gym membership. We have the Gorge! It’s a rare day when you can’t get a workout outside here. There’s road biking, mountain biking, windsurfing, kiteboarding, whitewater boating, trail running, skiing, backcountry skiing, hiking, standup paddling and a zillion other outdoor sports to do.

The problem in the Gorge is making a choice. Do I ride my bike today? Do I windsurf? Do I backcountry ski? Go for a run? Climb the HR stairs?

How do you choose? Take a look at the information here. Over time, we’ll be adding information on as many outdoor activities as possible. Hopefully, thegorgeismygym.com will spare you from needing a gym membership, even in the wettest, darkest months of the year!

This is a collaboration between us and you. If you’ve ridden a trail or a road ride, or boated a river, please take the time to leave a comment with current conditions. If we can make this a centralized information forum, we’ll have a valuable resource for everyone.

Whatever you do today, have an awesome day!

It's summer now...

So the snow forecast has been replaced by the wind forecast. Sometime in the middle of October (or earlier if the weather cooperates), the snow forecast will start again. NOAA says we're headed into an ENSO-neutral year, meaning we'll see a middle to late start with average to above average snowfall. Learn More»

Is your bike broken?

There are few sadder things in life than a broken bike. Okay, there are many worse things, but bikes bring joy, and broken bikes can't bring joy. Take your bike to Dirty Fingers and make it happy. You will then be happy too. Learn More»

Website Redo!

Thanks for your patience while this website becomes prettier and easier to navigate. As the summer progresses, I'll be adding more photos, more hikes, more rides, more runs, and just plain old more fun stuff to do in the Gorge. Thanks for your patience. I promise it will be done someday. Come back soon and join me on this adventure of creation. Learn More»
