Itinerary Details

  1. Day 1Little Lava Lake

    After meeting, you'll shuttle to the trailhead at Mt. Bachelor and start your adventure with a technically challenging ride through forests of ponderosa pines and firs. This singletrack ride will take you past Hosmer Lake as you make your way toward camp at Lava Lake.

    Today’s ride is just a hint of the awesome riding to come! After arriving in camp, explore the lake or relax and go for a swim.

  2. Day 2Little Lava Lake to Little Cultus Lake

    After breakfast, you’ll begin the ride to Cultus Lake. This ride is a favorite. It winds through thick forest, across bridges, and over streams. As you pass by Cultus Lake, you'll have plenty of opportunities to take a refreshing dip in the cool, clear water.

    Leaving Cultus Lake, you’ll make your way to Deer Lake and finally to the camp at Little Cultus Lake.

  3. Day 3Cultus and Lemish Lakes

    Leaving camp, you'll ride doubletrack through a lush pine forest that takes you to a tucked-away singletrack loop around Lemish Lake. This trail is semi-technical with fun rolling terrain. You'll return to Little Cultus for lunch and to pack up camp.

    After lunch, you’ll shuttle to the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. The Caldera is a collapsed volcano similar to Crater Lake. It features the largest obsidian glass flow in the United States and is home to two magnificent lakes. You will spend the two remaining days here riding and camping.

  4. Day 4Newberry Caldera

    Your first full day at Newberry begins with a long climb to Paulina Peak. The trail gains 1500ft over 3.5 miles but will be worth the many photos you’ll want to take. The summit of Paulina Peak (elevation 7984 feet) is the highest point on Newberry Volcano and provides an amazing visual introduction to the area. On a clear day, the view of the Cascades extends from Mt. Adams (in Washington) to Mt. Shasta ( in California).

    After the peak, you’ll roll along on some amazing singletrack and meet the van for lunch a little over halfway. The rest of the day is spent making your way back to camp on rolling singletrack.

  5. Day 5Newberry Caldera

    You’ll wake up this morning to your last delicious guide-prepared breakfast. What will you do without them?! The ride begins with the Parallel trail and continues to the Lost Lake trail through the Big Obsidian Flow. Only 1300 years old, the Big Obsidian Flow is the youngest lava flow in Oregon and consists of obsidian (black glass) and pumice. A sight unlike any other in Oregon.

    Your ride ends at camp where you’ll pack up and shuttle back to Bend.
