Description: This place is best ridden early mornings or weekdays due to lots of hikers and horse riders. Be aware of them at all times. Powell Butte has a few decent singletrack trails that are, however, not very long, but can give you a brief rush. There is nothing technical about Powell Butte. Pretty simple stuff here. The singletrack trails (six of them I think) branch from a doubletrack dirt road. There is another paved trail that is used a lot by hikers. The Mt. Hood Trail is the best and the steepest. Some rolling singletrack and roots to get the heart going. The best thing to do here is explore. I typically do 4-5 up-and-downs, trying to use different trails. Go early to avoid crowds. Yes, you will ride through a ton of spider webs, but it's worth it.

Boring, busy, and short. Trail is on a hill in the ghetto

Sometimes busy with hikers and bikers alike. This trail offers nice downhill and climb rides in close proximity to Portland and Gresham.
