    Challenging
  • Attributes:
    Moderately Technical, Single-Track
  • Region:
    Mt. Hood / The Gorge
  • Nearby Cities:

Trailhead: From Hood River, head 31 miles south on Hwy. 35 to Forest Road 44 on the left. Drive up Road 44 for 5.4 miles to the Bottle Prairie trailhead on the left.

Highlights: Long climbs, great views, incredible single-track descent.

Note: You can easily combine this loop with the 8 Mile Creek or Knebal Springs Loops.  The hike up to Lookout Mountain from High Prairie at the halfway point of the ride is well worth the extra effort for the 360° view.

Seasons: Summer through fall
