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

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

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
