Land OwnerUSFS
Singletrack descent from near the summit of Cache mountain. This downhill was the highlight of the old Hoodoo mtb races and a staple of day 3 of Bends Big Fat Tour (RIP and moment of silence). The amount of fun one has on this trail is directly correlated with the conditions of the trail. If logged out, a little moisture and not horsed up, it's a ripping, slightly bermed and a little sandy descent. If all of those factors are not in line, it will suck. Continuing to the top of Cache mtn before taking the descent is well worth it.
This trail is unsanctioned.

This trail will be realigned in 2026-27 as part of the Sisters Ranger District's STAR project and then become a sanctioned trail.

Despite edits to the contrary this trail has historically had plenty of mtb use, and it's not clear that it is an unsanctioned trail. It does need work and use to make sure it remains on the trail inventory.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
