Description: Fantastic singletrack groomed for speed and beauty. Often called the "Crown Jewel" of the Oakridge area, home of "Mountain Bike Oregon". The views are stunning, and the trail is damn near perfect singletrack. Climb the mountain to earn your reward, or shuttle it for maximum fun factor. Shuttles are also available for purchase in town. Almost endless loop possibilities for all skill levels.

I always ride the singletrack trail along the river rather than the paved road up to Rd. 1910. In fact, a little further up is Rd. 1912 which leads to the junction known as Windy Pass. From there you can access the ride described here or any of several others. It's 6 miles to Rd. 1912, 6 miles up gravel to Windy, and about 5 miles of some of the best, fastest and most beautiful downhill I've ever been on. You end up back at the bridge in Westfir. There are many, many options for riding here. Tire Mountain adds a couple hours to the ride, and provides stunning views on clear days. Make sure to get the most recent topo map (the one sponsored by GOATS) and a compass.

Great workout! lots of ups and downs. Lots of roots to navigate. Riding right on the edge, keep your eyes on the trail and pedal hard! Got a lot of bug bites.

Beautiful Trail. Nice flowy narrow singletrack or hardpack goodness. I took up the shuttle from MBO, which was well worth it and would do again. There was lots of lush greenery and lots of downed trees. I wish there were some jumps of some sort along the way. Overall awesome ride.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful trail. I rode up 1910 for about 8 miles and accessed the trail from 1911. It was a long 8 miles but well worth it. Thanks to Eugene at Willamette Mountain Mercantile for showing me such a great trail.

Wow, really really fun trail. Easily in my top 5. Long forest road grind to the top, followed by gorgeous scenery and an absolutely kick-ass descent. Very, very good flow, extremely fast. Really nice trailhead facilities to boot. Highly recommended.
