The ride

What to expect

Our big point-to-point adventure from one side of Mt. Hood to the other. Day one climbs to Lolo Pass and its close-up view of the mountain's west face, then drops and climbs again to Lost Lake. Day two crosses high forest before a long run down into Parkdale.

  • Lolo Pass, with Mt. Hood filling the skyline
  • An evening at Lost Lake, one of the most photographed views of the mountain
  • Two distinct sides of Mt. Hood: wet western forest and the drier Hood River Valley
  • Ridden and checked end to end by your guide
Good to know

Before you go

  • Starts in Zigzag and finishes in Parkdale. Getting back is by a third-party shuttle, chosen and paid for directly by guests
  • Stay overnight at Lost Lake Resort (cabins, yurts and camping), or ride either half as a full day
  • Mostly paved mountain roads with gravel sections; long, steady climbs both days
  • An easier, mostly downhill second-day option is available
  • Bring your own food and water. Your guide carries extra water, food and a filter for emergencies
