      Deep backcountry riding on the west side of the Cascade Peaks, particularly Three-Fingered Jack and Mt. Jefferson. Nestled between the Middle Santiam Wilderness to the west and the Jefferson Wilderness to the east, this region offers a number of big-mountain riding experiences up and over multiple ancient peaks that were once the high points of the Cascades, prior to the emergence of the new peaks.

      The network is mostly a giant lollipop route going up and over Crescent Mountain from the Lava Lakes Sno-Park. It can also be ridden as a big loop, or as a variety of different out-and-back or point-to-point segments that largely consist of going to the very top of a steep mountain and then riding back down or off the other side.

      Paved and gravel roads run through the middle of the network. The roads are open to vehicles, but "shuttling" in this system consists more of logistical staging of vehicles at strategic locations, particularly to enable point-to-point riding. These are not "shuttle trails" in the classic sense of being driven to the top and riding down.
      Primary Trail Type: All-Mountain & Downhill
