E-bikes NOT allowed on Mt. Ray
The Mt. Ray Trail follows the Ray Creek drainage on moderate grades and passes through Pothole Meadows. After the meadows the trail begins to climb to the South Waldo Trail #3586. If riding, do not go any further on Mt Ray Trail as the trail crosses quickly into a wilderness area.

Several big trees on trail. Standing water in meadow. Mosquitoes at level 8/10. Logging and tread work scheduled for 7/22.
rode the loop CW yesterday. Indeed riding up Fuji was much better than riding up Mt Ray, but you might ride more total elevation on Fuji as the trail goes up and down like a roller coaster. The descent down Ray is a sustained downhill, but doesn’t ride all to well in my opinion.
Plenty huckleberries !
One tree was down a couple days ago. Rideable
I’ll add that downhill is the better way to ride this trail. It’s pretty steep and technical.
