2019 was a landmark year for the Oregon Timber Trail Alliance. Our momentum out the gate had carried us a long way in four short years but it was quickly becoming apparent that in order to achieve our goals we would need to develop a business plan with diversified funding streams. Fast forward a few months and we found ourselves stacked with exciting and ambitious projects—and for the first time—funding to execute them.

Bunchgrass Stewardship Campout 2019
We worked hard, got a lot done, rode together, made new friends, shared stories, ate good food and went home satisfied that we had given back to the trails we love to ride! Wow; what a great weekend! I've been on lots of trail work trips and this was one of the best I've been on. Logistics and everything else came together without a hitch.

FAQ: Getting to the Southern Terminus Just Got a Whole Lot Easier
One of the most common questions we get is “Where’s Lakeview” and “How do I get there?” Until recently, there was no good answer besides bribing a friend or taking a lengthy bus ride to Alturas, CA. Now one of our long time supporters, Zach’s Bikes in Klamath Falls, is offering shuttle services to local trails and to the California border for your OTT journey! For most of the west coast, Klamath Falls is conveniently accessible by Amtrak trains, and Zach’s Bikes can take you the rest of the way.
The 12 Best Day Rides of the Oregon Timber Trail
We spent last summer compiling the best day rides in each of the four tiers and came up with something for every skill level. Here we’ve partnered with Travel Oregon and Ride with GPS to provide GPS files, and overview of the riding, and other attractions in each area. 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 day or for the whole season!
