Cascade Mountains Singletrack Camping

Three glorious days on the best trails in the Cascades Mountains! Ride our favorite trails that most locals don't ever venture to meaning you won't see other riders all weekend long! The trails will challenge you with climbs winding though alpine forests, passing numerous lakes and vistas. You'll be awed by views of snow capped volcanic mountains as you swoop down fast and fun loamy descents. Each night in camp will include enjoy great meals, Deschutes Brewery beers and sunset over an alpine lake. It really doesn't get much better than this...

Tour Details

Friday: Our first day of riding starts out right: with lots of downhill. The trail starts up in the Cascades overlooking Mt. Bachelor at 6800 feet and immediately dives into deep old-growth hemlock forest. As we ride the Metolius-Windigo trail, we will pass Sparks Lake, Hosmer Lake and Lava Lake on our way to Little Lava Lake, the headwaters of the Deschutes River. From here ride towards the top of Kwohl Butte. It is a good climb up, but the reward is the descent many locals call "the best in Central Oregon". From Kwohl to Little Lava Lake, the trail descends 2200' in 7 miles. After our ride, relax and swim in this spring-fed lake while the guides prepare a scrumptious dinner. Mileage: 27 miles Saturday: Another fabulous day of riding on pristine singletrack! We start and end right from camp at Little Cultus Lake, riding singletrack through moss covered trees to our lunch stop. Our picnic lunch is at Charlton Lake with amazing views and crystal clear water perfect for swimming. The loop finishes with tons of fast downhill, bringing you back to camp, the lake and Deschutes Brewery beer! Mileage: 22 miles Sunday: The final ride will put the icing on the cake of an incredible mountain biking weekend. We will shuttle back to Mt. Bachelor and ride all the way back to our office in town. From the trailhead at 6800 feet we descend into Bend at 3400 feet. Enjoy smooth flowing trail among huge hemlock trees, traverse open alpine meadows with views into the Three Sisters Wilderness, and experience more amazing singletrack. Mileage: 30 miles
