    Trailhead: From Hood River, go 31 miles south on Hwy. 35 to Forest Road 44 on the left. Ascend up Road 44 for 3.5 miles to the Surveyor’s Ridge trailhead on the left.

    Highlights: Do this ride as either an out-and-back along Tr. 688 or ride out Tr. 688 and back on Forest Service Road 17. Incredible rolling single-track and views. The trail contours along the edge of a steep ridge for most of its length.

    Note: Pay close attention to the map and landmarks along the way as many roads and trails intersect the Surveyor’s Ridge trail.  Use caution if riding on FS 17, as traffic can move fast.

    Seasons: Late spring through late fall

    A detailed map of this trail and others nearby is available through Adventure Maps, an Oregon company, at local bike shops and outdoor retailers, as well as online at www.adventuremaps.net.

    1. Rode this trail as part of a loop around Mt. Hood. Stayed in the huts. Sweet arrangement! Plan to do it again next summer.
