After a quick stay in Bend we are heading south for the winter again. Always up for adventure, we’re checking out Lava Beds National Monument on our way. We found a nice spot boondocking in the forest just outside the monument. There is a campground in Lava Beds, but we always prefer the privacy and …
Our last ride in the area capped off a great time at Crater Lake. This was an exploratory ride and I loved it! We rode up to the top of Huckleberry Mtn before, but this was a different route…all gravel and beautiful. The ride was 18.8 miles with 2,139′ of climbing. I sound like a …
Foster Creek Ride I feel like I type the same things each ride these days. As I’ve stated, the area around Crater Lake, and the Rogue River have countless options for gravel and moto trail rides. We have been incredibly lucky to spend time here and explore the area. This post is for our last …
I’m running out of things to say about all the remote gravel routes we keep riding. Derek mapped out this one so that we’d swing by and see National Falls first and then climb up onto a huge ridge before looping around on some moto trails to return to the start. Our ride was 26.1 …
Maps are cool. After studying and tracing routes we finally came up with a plan. Start in the small town of Prospect, OR, and ride up into the mountains past the Rogue River and out to the Middle Fork Trailhead that leads into the wilderness. Our ride was 27 miles with 2437′ of climbing. For …
Gravel roads zig zag through the area around Crater Lake and offer countless options for riding and exploring. Derek and I did a route the other day that took us up to Seven Mile Marsh Trailhead and then out another dirt road terminating further out towards Rocky Point. Our ride was 26.2 miles with 1831′ …
The area around Prospect and Rogue River has a lot of options for gravel road riding. It’s all heavily forested area that is enticing for rides because you get some shade. Derek put together a loop we rode that was 19 miles with 1,589′ of climbing. We rode mountain bikes on this because we incorporated …
Derek and I tried to do this ride back in June but there was still too much snow on the ground. This time was a success. Our ride was 13 miles with 2118′ of climbing which is quite a bit for such a short route. Huckleberry Mountain ride starts at Thousand Springs Snowpark on Highway …
Derek and I have had this ride on our radar for a few months now and it was worth it! Hershberger Mountain Lookout is a gorgeous ride and we had a great time. We took the most direct way we could see on a map and rode this as an out and back of 21 …
Annie Creek SnowPark is down the highway a short distance from where we are camped and the drop in elevation means little to no snow there. We scoped out a route on Google Maps the best we could given the near lack of internet we have. Off we went! Well, the loop we planned was …
