Description: The McKenzie River Trail is widely regarded as one of the best mountain bike trails in North America. Paralleling the McKenzie river and offering a wide variety of terrain, this trail provides challenging and scenic riding opportunities in the heart of the Oregon Cascades. A snaking rollercoaster of a trail that follows the McKenzie River through an ancient forest. This trail offers smooth singletrack, log bridges, hot springs, killer views, tight turns, steep drops, technical lava field traverses and challenging climbs. The McKenzie River Trail is an excellent ride to do as a shuttle. Leave one car in McKenzie Bridge and drive up to Clear Lake. The first 4 to 5 miles of the McKenzie River Trail is very technical with lava flows and tight turns. Don’t get discouraged during this early part because past the “Blue Hole” get ready for fast and fairly smooth singletrack for the next 20 miles.

Thumbs up! Steve April 27, 2009 The McKenzie River Trail is unforgettable. The best trail riding experience I ever had. Don’t get scared off by the difficulty rating – you can take the first part of the trail slow or just it altogether if you want and just get the lower easier part. The reason most people rate it so hard is because it is fairly long – almost 26 miles. So only do part of it, or tackle it in chunks. No one says you have to do it all on the same day! Lot’s of food and lodging opportunities just below the trail. Many other cool trails and scenic highways make this a great place to spend a few heavenly vacation days. Find

Description: The Horse Camp Trail is a scenic trail offering access to the Red Buttes Wilderness Area and Echo Lake. The trail provides opportunities for fishing at Echo Lake and panoramic views from the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The trail climbs 3500 feet in 3.9 miles. Water may be found at two springs along the trail, however, these sources have not been tested and may be unsafe to drink. Water treatment is recommended. Beginning at Horse Camp Trailhead the trail climbs steeply through a shaded deciduous and mixed conifer forest. In 0.6 mile, the junction with Butte Fork Trail is reached. The Horse Camp Trail stays to the left and continues to climb steadily along the ridgeline. Views of the old Butte Fork landslide are frequently seen. Horse Camp is reached after another mile with a spring located nearby. The trail continues to climb for another 1.5 miles before reaching a high mountain meadow dotted with an array of wild flowers. Deer are frequently seen grazing in the meadows. The Echo Lake junction at 6592 feet is soon reached – the trail to the right leads to Echo Lake, nestled in a small cirque basin below No Name Peak. For those continuing to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, take the trail to the left and continue another 0.5 miles to the crest, marking the end of Horse Camp trail. The Horse Camp Trail offers an opportunity for a 15 mile loop beginning and ending at the Horse Camp Trailhead. This loop can be completed by taking the Horse Camp Trail (3.9 miles), to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. At the crest, follow the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail northeast for 2 miles to Cook and Green Pass. The Cook and Green Trail (#959) takes off from here heading north and begins an 8.2 mile descent to Forest Road 1040. On Forest Road 1040, head south for 1/2 mile to the Horse Camp Trailhead.
