Bikes + Blooms

Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Kelly Madden for a mellow, 4-5 mile mountain bike ride in Skyline Forest. This ride is open to beginner-level riders who want to explore the crowd-free riding of Skyline Forest at a mellow pace, while learning about the wildflowers that bloom every summer in Skyline Forest. From freshwater springs to historic lumber mills, riders will experience firsthand why the Land Trust is working to protect Skyline Forest, Bend’s backyard.

Ride Rating: This is a beginner, 4-5 mile mountain bike ride on old logging roads and some trails. You should be comfortable riding singletrack, but be ready for fun stops to smell the roses. Be ready to ride over loose gravel and small obstacles in the trail on a mix of logging roads and trails with some climbs and descents.
