Mountain bike shuttles in Oakridge, Oregon

Oakridge, Oregon is uniquely set up for mountain bike shuttles, that is why Cog Wild has been operating here since 2016. This page has information about daily mountain bike shuttles, discounted combo packages, shuttle passes and private shuttles to the popular and backcountry trails in Oakridge, Oregon.

March 13, 2026:

In March and April, shuttles will run to Alpine and Dead Mountain on weekends when it’s not raining heavily. This will minimize impact and allow the trails to dry out between spring storms.

Early season shuttle schedule:

  • Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 9AM Alpine, 2 PM Dead Mountain.
  • Larison is available upon request for groups of 5 or more.

The table below shows the mountain bike shuttle schedule for the main season, which runs from May-October. The schedule is subject to change based on weather and client demand. Empty shuttles will be culled from the schedule 24 – 48 hours in advance to direct riders to confirmed shuttles. From November- April, during periods of high pressure, shuttles may be scheduled to Dead Mountain, Larison Rock and possibly Alpine.
