Is the Columbia Silver Ridge mountain bike a good bike?

I am looking for a new mountain bike because mine was stolen. I do not want one of those cheap ones from walmart (mongoose, huffy). I want a decent bike that will last and is lightweight and easy to ride. I do most of my riding on the road, and some light trails, nothing hardcore. Currently amazon is having this bike on sale for $150 but says it retails for $300, in which case it's not actually a cheap bike but just a good deal.
Can anyone let me know their opinion on this bike, as far as I know Columbia does not make cheap bikes.
