It's got a fair amount of parking, but bikers, horse riders, and motorcyclers all use that parking lot, so on a weekend, I could see it getting busy (although I've never not been able to find a spot).
The RME ride we've all been waiting for.

worst case scenario, the parking lot is full and you have to park down by the turnoff for cascade springs, half a mile away.

do you guys have an estimate on how long the ride will take? Im still trying to sneak it in
With a group of unknown riders, I would estimate a couple hours (2-3). However, you could easily peel off from the group and make it out much quicker if you needed to (easy to find your way out and I could explain it to you). I rode it yesterday in 2 hours and I stopped a lot and I was also learning my new bike.

I'll probably keep riding afterwards as well (assuming neither me nor my bike are broken).

I talked to the nice older lady at the PG Ranger district today. She said the following trails are closed:
- tibble fork trail
- mud springs
- mill canyon
- timpanookie road
- forest lake
She then said that any trail that wasn't on that list is open. I asked about great western and the ridgeline trail, and she said that since they're not on that list, they're open. So that may open up our options this weekend.
Tyler and I are hading up there today, we'll report back on how the trail conditions are.

I found this handy little map of AF canyon.
Yep, besides the 4wd trails, those trails are 040, 041, 173, and 194
I rode part of the ridgeline trail yesterday and can say it is in good shape.

sounds good.
OK Guys, here's a map from the pay booth at the bottom of the canyon, to the parking lot at the top. Basically, once you're past the pay booth, you take the only right towards the Alpine Loop and stay on that route until you reach the summit.
(click me to zoom in for details)
Total 10.6 miles for the pay booth.

I am going to go to the airport Friday night and see if I can go standby so I can get out of Spokane. I really want to come on this ride.
