FIRST BLOOD TRAIL DETAILS
NEW FOR SUMMER 2025 – FIRST BLOOD TRAIL (GRAND OPENING WAS JUNE 28TH)
Advanced – 5km (downhill)
This trail has been in the works since 2020 as the first major trail of the Hope Mountain Trail Network. Built entirely by hand, this steep, technical, black diamond trail is a dedicated shuttle trail accessible via Mount Hope Forest Service Road. Named after the iconic 1982 Rambo movie filmed in the area, this 5km-long trail is the brainchild of seasoned trail planner and builder, Thomas Schoen of First Journey Trails.
“First Blood” offers a challenging and exhilarating ride, featuring a steep descent, boulder features, rock slabs, and exposed sections. While designed for advanced riders, skilled intermediate riders may tackle the trail with caution. This hand-built trail distinguishes itself from other destinations, offering a unique and natural riding experience with a handful of man-made features like ladders and bridges.
With environmental sustainability and Indigenous community input prioritized, Schoen and his crew employed innovative techniques while building the new trail, including rock splitting to minimize impact and prevent erosion. He emphasized the importance of employing experienced builders and ensuring proper water drainage to keep the trail sustainable and around for years to come.
The exact location of the parking area is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bZbv7rEecx9CJCCt9
Just past the paved portion of the Mt. Hope Forest Service Road, visitors will come to a clearing on the left-hand side. There is parking available in this clearing as well as along the side of the forest service road in areas with wide shoulders.
There is no shuttle available to the top of the trail, so bikers will need to arrange their own shuttle or can e-bike to the top. The gravel road to the trail entrance has some significant potholes, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended.
This is a black diamond trail, but there is a connecting blue (intermediate) trail called Columbia that is also open. Cell phone service is spotty in areas.
To celebrate this milestone, AdvantageHope and 6th Ave Sports are giving away a 2023 Norco Sight C3 SRAM mountain bike, valued at over $6k!
