This gravel grind takes you along gold mining routes from a bygone age. Come prepared for some serious forest fire-road climbing along the way. You'll be rewarded with outstanding views, robust history, boundless backcountry, & the opportunity to overnight at US Forest Service Cabins. (less)

A popular extended day ride, this 74 mile paved scenic tour takes one fully around Strawberry mountains on a ride through wildflower strewn Logan Valley, the John Day River Valley rangeland, up and over forested high country, and through the towns of John Day, Canyon City and Prairie City. Total elevation gain of approx. 3855'. Parish Cabin Campground serves as an almost exact halfway point for those seeking to break this route up into a two day ride. (less)

I wouldn't have believed desert canyons, arid buttes, rolling rangeland, alpine mountain ridges, lush forests & scenic river valleys could all be crammed into a ride less than 100 miles long prior to exploring this little known part of Oregon.

The South Fork John Day River & Aldrich Mountain Range are often overlooked gems in this sleepy corner of Oregon.

... Did I mention there are two rentable backcountry Forest Service Cabins along the way?
