The 12 Best Day Rides of the Oregon Timber Trail

Untitled-2.jpg

We’ve spent several seasons talking to riders and exploring sections of the Oregon Timber Trail ourselves to find the best gems of backcountry trail along the route. We’ve partnered with Travel Oregon and Ride with GPS to share best day rides in each of the four tiers and came up with something for every skill level. Our rider surveys have shown that nearly half (48%) of OTT riders are doing day rides and not bikepacking. 44% are bikepacking shorter segments and only 8% are bikepacking the whole trail.

Even if bikepacking isn’t your thing, we hope these guides will get you out exploring the state’s best singletrack on two wheels whether it’s for a couple hours or for the whole season! Keep reading to find GPS files, overview of the riding, and other attractions in each area.
