As I said in a previous post, the Olympic Discovery Trail is long. We plan to break it into sections and explore them all since we have time. The other day we drove out to Lake Crescent and rode...
Fort Stevens Park Ride
Fort Stevens State Park has a really nice network of paved paths with a short section of trail. We camped in the park and took one morning to ride around and explore. This was more of a meandering ride...
Hoover Dam Ride
With a short stopover in Boulder City, NV, I took the chance to ride the Railroad Grade out to Hoover Dam and back again. We’ve done this ride a couple times before and the awe and grandeur of the...
Pinetop Gravel Exloring

Glass Mountain Medicine Lake Gravel Ride
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...
Huckleberry Ride Loop
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...
