The Alpine Trail – Video

Still catching up with the summer festivities. Here is a video from the Alpine Trail out of Oakridge Oregon. The video really does not do it justice. I have not toyed with one of those 360 degree action cameras yet but I think it would have been useful to try and capture some of the views of the huge trees.

One thing is for certain, it is better enjoyed than viewed through a screen. There are plenty of days of riding to had in this area and we barely scratched the surface.

This place is definitely on our return list I think I would like to do a vacation that includes some time here and Bend along with another jaunt out to the Mckenzie River Trail.

The McGill Trail – Video

Flow and Fall time goodness, what is not to like. The McGill trail located on Mt Pinos near Frazier Park well north of LA is pretty cool. Very nice if you and your buddies can shuttle it, but it is doable with a mild 8-mile road climb. You should put this trail on your list if you are going to be in the area.

I also did the the out and back route to the summit of Mt Pinos as well. If you made it that far up the mountain you might as well go all the way. Here is my route on this particular day where I started from the McGill Campground halfway up the mountain .
