We rode up Ben's, down Storm King, left on COD, then FSR 4610 to 4604 to the gray gravel road to Phil's trail back to the parking lot. It's not much shorter than going via ELV, but it's definitely not as difficult.
This is the milepost at the bench at the start of Whoops. Why do people feel the need to shoot the signposts? Those are bullet holes in the post, the front of the post is torn off. What is it about gun ownership that leads to this behavior?
We met a couple our age on the trails, they're from Montana, they're driving about the country mountain biking. They recommended an area called Oakridge in Oregon. There are 350 miles of trails available. It's an old logging town, remaking itself as an out door tourist activity mecca. So, we will want to check that out sometime.
After looking at the topo lines on the map, I have determined that the climb from the top of Ben's to the Whoops bench is an average 5.5% grade, which might explain why it takes so dang long to get up there.
