Best adventure travel trails in Oregon

Mountain Biking Trails in Oregon

Oregon has it all – the beaches along the Pacific Ocean, the mountains and national forests that go up central Oregon and the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. The state is a great place to visit, especially in summer where you can spend your entire vacation outdoors, with near perfect weather. Escape the heat with a dip in the Pacific Ocean or any number of the clear rivers that cover the landscape.

Oregon is a great destination for a holiday, and what we think makes it unique is that the whole darn state is so beautiful. No matter where you go, you find spectacular views. There are also charming towns, full of outdoors adventures. One of our favourites is the town of Bend, one of the great outdoors towns in the US. Surrounded by superb hiking, biking, climbing and lots of snow sports, it’s a cool town with an even better vibe.

In winter, you can find great skiing on Mt. Hood, with plenty of options for XC skiing or snowshoeing. In summer you can do almost anything, from sea kayaking to hiking and climbing. If you need some snow, head up to Mt. Hood (with a guide of course), try to get to the summit and see the remnants of winter's snow or one of Mt. Hood’s glaciers.

Oregon is a great locale for mountain biking, but so is the rest of the world! Let somebody else plan your next mountain biking trip with one of these mountain bike tours scattered all over the globe.

Tiddlywinks

This popular trail is the king of variety. With a bit of cross-country riding, a short climb, extremely flowy downhill and some technical riding, this trail will please all mountain bikers. The middle section of the Tiddlywinks trail, however, is best known for its man-made berms and tabletop jumps.

Whoops Loop

Bend’s own “A-Line”, Lower Whoops Trail is the quintessential downhill flow trail of the area. You’ll find plenty of mountain bikers on this trail, but it’s easy to see why. With a chill logging road climb and fantastic berms and tabletops to huck on the way down, it’s easy to spend all day cycling Whoops.

Tyler’s Traverse

A favorite mountain bike trail amongst locals, this classic shuttle run is more technical than its brother Tiddlywinks. Though this trail definitely has its fair share of flowy berms, there are many more rock gardens than most of the trails around Bend. Truly an old school mountain bike trail.

Smith Rock Summit Trail Loop

Smith Rock State Park is popular with hikers and bikers for a reason! The towering cliffs and the lush Crooked River are candy for the eyes. And the riding isn’t too bad either, though you will have to contend with a few hikers on the trail to get to the goods.

Peterson Ridge Trail

The Peterson Ridge Trail system, with its roughly ladder-like shape allows for a ride of any length. You can follow one of the ‘rails’ as far as you like, and then traverse across one of the many ‘rungs’ to descend the other ‘rail’ back down to your car! Perfect for families and aspiring cross country bike riders. Plus, it isn’t too far from Bend.

Ben’s Trail

Recently switched to a one-way, uphill only trail, Ben’s near Bend is the quintessential cross-country climbing trail from Phil’s Trail. Don’t worry, short descent and fun features frequently break up the gentle climb. A plus is you won’t see as many bikes on this trail.

Kent’s Trail

Another classic mountain bike trail of the Phil’s Trailhead complex, Kent’s trail can be ridden either as a climb or as a descent. It's easy to add this trail to your day at Phil's. We enjoy doing this as a mellow descent after a few loops of Whoops, or as a climb if you get bored of Ben’s.
