“The climb begins immediately out of Lakeview and continues on good gravel, not too steep, with excellent views overlooking the valley below. After the first five miles, the grade lessens, but continues to climb gradually for another 3.5 miles, concluding at a busy intersection where six roads come together and where the Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail crosses.”
“This is a great route that puts you out into some of the most remote areas of the state, with lots of adventure riding and beautiful scenery. Although this version of the OTT is the ‘gravel’ version, don’t let that fool you—most of my time was spent on surfaces I would classify as ‘other than gravel.’ It is hard, technical, and most certainly not a traditional gravel ride.”
Stewardship events are at the heart of our work. In addition to helping maintain a vast network of trails, these events offer opportunities for learning and camaraderie in the fresh forest air. A chance to form deeper connections with the landscape and with the communities that have made this trail what it is today.
As the year comes to a close, board member Chip Andrus offered to share some reflections on prepping for our first trail work party of 2023…
The Oregon Timber Trail Alliance (OTTA) had the opportunity to attend the Oregon Trails Coalition (OTC) Annual Meeting on Friday, November 3, 2023. The theme of this meeting was What’s Next for Signature Trails. The OTTA was invited to share what we’ve been up to this last year and where we could use more support from other participating organizations. We also got to hear updates from others in the cohort on what they have been up to and how we can strategize new systems of supporting each other’s efforts to build better trail experiences across the state.
