OK, so I'm thinking the folks at Outside online wrote up this little blurb after a brief phone interview. Because if they'd laced up and come here to experience our trails first-hand we totally would have kicked Ashland's bootie.

And, excuse me ... not as polished as Missoula? Whatev.

But they did give us props for being affordable, lush and underrated. So ...Keep on truckin', Spokane!
