Introduction - Mountain Biking Northeast Oregon

A little known fact is that over 350 miles of mountain bike trails exist in Northeastern Oregon, mostly all within 100 miles of La Grande. Hundreds more miles exist if you add in ATV trails and closed dirt roads. This is close to what the mountain bike meccas of Bend and Oakridge offer; yet, hardly anyone knows about our trails. Even locals don't know this much opportunity exists so close, so don't be surprised if you get a weird look when you ask where all these MTB trails are.

At La Grande Ride, we know more than anyone about our mountain biking and we don't believe in secret trails. So, we have mapped most of it and feature it here on our site. We've even scouted some short connectors for over a hundred miles of continuous mountain biking. You will find the most comprehensive trail guide in all of Oregon if you purchase the Pack for Online Map Guides. Keep in mind that we're adding Read more

Anthony Lakes

Baker City Area

Although not well-known for mountain biking, Baker City has a few hidden gems within a shortish drive from town. The drier climate and dirt makes trail conditions good much of the spring, summer, and fall but also watch for goatheads on some trails.

Echo West Vineyard Sno Road MTB Trail System

TAGS:

The cultivation-unworthy desert land of the Sno Road Winery has yielded a bounty in mountain bike trails outside of Echo, Oregon. These trails are rideable most of the year, offering some technical challenges to interrupt otherwise fast-flowing singletrack meandering through the sagebrush. The trails are particularly single-speed friendly, but by no means completely flat. The site also plays host to the increasingly popular early-season Red to Red mountain bike race extravaganza. To see map of the main Echo Trails, purchase the all access pass. Read more

Halfway

Not exactly known as a mountain bike destination (yet), the southern region of the Wallowa Mountains near Halfway offers a good selection of mingletrack that is worth the trip. Too much of the singletrack in the Wallowa Mountains is guarded by anti-bike wilderness rules, but the Halfway advantage is that the boundary was drawn several miles north of many of the trails, so the benefit is some good legal riding. Right now the trails won't classify as "epic," but definitely "adventuresome" with some fantastic scenery and a wilderness feel. Read more

Utah Mountain Biking

Walla Walla River

This is a mountain bike destination! An appealing characteristic of this area is the multiple trails with several entry points on highways or logging roads. Each trail exit is usually close enough to connect to another trail on your bike, usually by riding on gravel roads. There are also several campgrounds that offer the potential of multi-day riding, preferably point to point with support crews. Read more
