PNW Trail Elevation Chart - Seattle/I-90 Corridor

Apr 9, 2021 at 13:58
by Scott Musgrove  
I designed this graphic to show the elevations of some popular areas and trails along the I-90 Seattle Corridor. If you know the current snow-level you can reference this handy chart to see if your favorite trail might be snow-free. Or maybe you just want to see the comparative elevations of these trail systems. Or maybe you just want to cover up a hole you smashed in the wall of your garage because you were so frustrated that you couldn t go riding because you didn t know the starting elevation of your favorite trail. For instance.
I was trying to figure out a way to raise money for our local trail org here in the PNW (Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance) and offer something somewhat useful to the community in exchange for their hard-earned money. I was inspired by a simple elevation drawing by Luke Humpheys and the graphic sort of escalated from there.
The idea here is that this graphic shows the elevation of some popular areas and trails along the I-90/Seattle Corridor. If you know the current snow-level, you can reference this handy chart to see if your favorite trail might be snow-free. Or maybe you just want to see the comparative elevations of these trail systems. Or perhaps you just want a picture to cover up a hole you smashed in the wall of your garage because you were so frustrated that you couldn’t go riding due to work/weather/Covid.
With the help of Emily Przybelinski, we were able to line up matching donations for the sale of each print. So far we've raised over $3000 for EMBA.
The prints can be purchased here - all profits go directly to EMBA: https://mtbprintshop.threadless.com/designs/pnw-i-90-elevation-map-print-emba-benefit/home/fine-art-print
I'm sharing this in hopes that it'll encourage folks in other regions to come up with novel ways of raising money for their local trail organizations.
