Named the ‘Oregon Timber Trail’ in honor of the state’s many logging roads that helped create the new network, the trail is now the most prolific ‘Mountain Bike-Packing’ route in North America. Starting along the California/Oregon border and ending in Washington state, the route is incredibly diverse, alternating between staggering peaks and lush forests.
“What sets [The Oregon Timber Trail] apart is that it’s designed with mountain biking in mind and consists of more than 50 percent singletrack.” – Oregon Timber Trail Website
Covering over 650 miles of trail and 66k vertical feet of elevation gain, this one is reserved for the hardcore. Still, the trail can be broken up into 10 different sections for those not interested in putting themselves through hundreds of miles of Type II fun.
The end result was the product of countless hours on interagency talks, private sector participation, environmental assessments, and eco-friendly trail builds. In the end the mountain biking community and the state of Oregon have come to create one of the best mountain biking trail systems in the world.
