Upper Umpqua & Timpanogas Region Multi-Day Adventure

The North Umpqua Trail has been hit hard by fire and extreme weather the past few years and it needs time to heal and lots of machine work before we’re able to ride all 79 miles of the trail again. We’ve revamped our classic Umpqua multi-day trip; now it includes the top segments of the North Umpqua Trail and our favorite high country trails near Timpanogas Lake on southern edge of the Willamette National Forest. Our campsite is situated nicely to maximize riding in both areas. This trip is best suited to expert riders who enjoy suffering through mandatory hike a bike sections and big climbs to fully appreciate long descents, technical roots and rocks, numerous stream crossings and miles of ultra-fun riding.

Day 0

Meet in Bend at noon and travel to our campsite near the headwaters of the North Umpqua River. If you are driving up from the south, you are welcome to meet the group at the campsite. We’ll do a ride from camp to stretch our legs and make sure the bikes are working well. Meet and greet happy hour at 5 PM, followed by dinner.

Mileage: less than 10 miles

Day 1

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll travel to Timpanogas Lake to ride the high country trails: Sawtooth, Cowhorn and head of the Willamette. Eat well since we’re going big today: mandatory hike a bike sections to steep descents. A swim in the lake is highly recommended before returning to camp for dinner and relaxation.

Mileage: 15- 20 miles

Day 2

Today is classic PNW riding. We’ll ride sections of the Middle Fork of the Willamette, a technical river trail with miles of fun riding. Then jump back in the van for a big Moon Point shuttle, an almost all downhill 7 mile ripper going through multiple climate zones and trail types. From chunky rock to tear inducing speeds, this trail is always a crowd pleaser.

Mileage: 20-34 miles

Day 3

After breaking camp, we’ll take a big bite out of the NUT as we ride as many of the upper segments that you can handle. Start with Lemolo, Dread and Terror then Hot Springs and if you still have gas in the tank try for Deer Leap too. After a dip in the North Umpqua River and a farewell cheers, the van will return to Bend and we’ll return to the world refreshed and content from three days of fantastic mountain biking.

FAQ

I have already done the Bachelor to Bend tour? Should I do it again?

Yes! There are several different ways to ride from Mt. Bachelor to Bend, and we can take you on a different route each time, with few trail repeats. This means that you will see new trails each time.

My friends and I want to do this tour together, but some of us ride faster/slower than the rest of the group. Is this a problem?

Not at all! The trails in Bend are not very technical, which is what slows most people down in other places. Once we have details about all the riders we will choose a route that will help keep everyone together. Depending on the size of the group, we will have more than one guide to allow everyone to be able to ride at their own pace without getting too far ahead or left behind.

Can I bring my own bike?

Yes, of course! If you are traveling with your mountain bike, we ask that it is in good working order. Hard tails, full suspension, 27” and 29er bikes are all appropriate for our trails.

How much water should I have with me?

Cog Wild will provide each rider with one water bottle for you to keep after the ride. However, we recommend carrying at least a few water bottles or a full hydration bladder for your full day ride. There is not a place to refill water along the trail, so you will need to start the ride with all of your water for the day.

Traveling with an E-bike? Please read:

The Deschutes National Forest does not allow e-bikes on the non-motorized trails. This includes the vast majority of mountain biking trails that we guide and shuttle.

Mt. Hood Region Multi-day Adventure

Famous for windsurfing and kiteboarding, the Hood River area also has fantastic mountain biking that combines classic Oregon singletrack with stunning scenery. Get up close to the iconic Mt. Hood and deep into the river canyons on its lower flanks. The well designed trails here have big views, techy flow, deep forested sections, meadows and creek crossings and some old school freeride and jump trails. Our camp is in the heart of the Mt. Hood Forest with easy access to the riding.

Day 0

Meet in Bend at noon and travel to our campsite in the Mt Hood region. Meeting at our campsite at 3pm is an option as well. A quick afternoon ride to help get to know the group. Meet and greet happy hour at 5 PM, followed by dinner, stories around the campfire and star gazing.

Day 1

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll head to Post Canyon for a day of riding. Post is a spider web of a trail system with longer xc trails, jump lines and shuttle-able DH trails. Early Freeriders adopted Post Canyon in the late 90’s, so look for classic wood features and skinnys.

Day 2

A good day for a high country ride. We will get up close to Mt. Hood today on the 44 trails, named after the forest road that intersects these trails. 15 mile Creek, 8 mile Creek High Prairie, 5 Mile lookout and Knebal Springs are all options for great loops or shuttles. High meadows and deep forests await a big day on the trail. Celebrate our last night in camp with a healthy dinner and cheers to big adventure.

Day 3

After our last breakfast and breaking camp, We will head for a big point to point ride. Starting high up on the flanks of Mt Hood and ending along the banks of the Hood River, expect long downhills and more great views. There is still plenty of climbing and traversing to keep us honest. A splash in the cold river is “mandatory” before heading home tired and happy.
