Steep, loose and tight in spots, wide open soft needles over dirt in other areas. There are sections where you can open up the brakes but be careful as there are often blind unbanked corners that sneak up on you especially at speed and overshooting can have consequences.

Access Info

Out and back is not advised. Shuttling is ideal. Riding a loop is doable as well and will involved about 90 min of climbing and 3800 vertical feet. To do this you can park on highway 58 at the bottom or at the intersection of 5840 and South Willamette Trail and climb 5480 to 550 which will butt directly into the bottom of Hardesty from which Eula can be accessed. Eula Ridge Trail is a sharp right hand turn off of Hardesty about 1/4 mile in. "Eula" is carved into a tree at the entrance.

Someone piled a few branches across the start today so I took Hardesty. Not sure what’s going on?

      The most challenging trail in Oakridge, closest thing we have to a proper black rated downhill trail. There's actually a pretty fun little drop on the upper part now after a big boulder fell out and made it more interesting.

      This trail is less popular than Lawler for obvious reasons, but it's a good progression step for riding hard trails in other places because there is some level of commitment without anything too crazy.

      Best trail in Oakridge if you’re really into bikes. Feels like a skidder for the upper part of the trail. It’s steep but not that steep. The only bad parts of this trail are the switchbacks but I’ll deal with them for the rest of the trail. Not too pedally and feels more like a modern mtb trail than others in the area.

      This trail has it all! As everyone says, the steep chutes are really steep, but none of them have the typical exposure that many of the Oakridge trails have. Still high consequence if you got otb, but you won’t fall off the side of the trail. Lower section is sick, with great dirt, some less steep sections and good flow. Feather the back brake to keep it rolling for traction up top, and hammer the front. Guaranteed to be better at brake control after riding this trail, no question.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
