If you want to get away from the crowds without having to drive too far, the South side of the Highway 1 between Three Sisters and Exshaw has some great singletracks that see very little traffic. Expect lesser maintained trails, but the running out there is twisty, technical and packed with short and steep climbs and descents! Low traffic means more wildlife, so don't forget your bear spray at home.
