"Highly technical and physically challenging terrain. "
Major understatement. Harder than any double black I've ridden in Oregon AND it's a wheels on the ground trail. It's super steep fall line riding and exposed (cliffs) at the same time, and you have some big moves to make in no-fall terrain. It gets real.

Definitely an adventure! Expect a mix of overgrown trail, hike a bike, good riding and incredible views. Definitely feels like you're way out there. One water stash when I rode it. Check with the local shop (Willamette Mountain Mercantile) to see if that's still there if you plan to ride it. Or bring more water than the mileage would suggest

When I was over to ride Bunchgrass in July 2014 the segment west of NF 379 through the burn had not been cleared recently. Check with locals or local shops for trail conditions before planning on riding this trail the full length. When fully cleared it will be a tremendous ride. The cleared sections were great fun. Thanks to the local club for the trail maintenance they do for us all.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
