Just over ten miles of challenging old-school singletrack. One of the more challenging trails Oakridge has to offer: rocky chutes, exposure, switchbacks, loose fall-line, incredible views and miles and miles of bench-cut singletrack.
A quick scout of the top rock garden is a good idea.
Important navigational note:
There is a confusing sign at a trail junction on this trail. Lower Heckletooth trail is signed by the official forest service trail name "Aubrey Trail #3559". (Not to be confused with Aubrey Mountain Trail #3554 that bikers call "Aubrey Mountain"). When you see this trail sign stay left at the split to continue to ride Heckletooth.
Access Info
Starts at the bottom of Little Bunchgrass trail after crossing the road. Look for the "Eugene to Crest" trail sign. Ends on straight exit singletrack that eventually widens to gravel. It shares this exit with Aubrey Mountain trail.

Definitely some punchy climbs throughout, not much flow, some steep sections that have you dragging your brakes. View point is awesome, Id recommend fairly experienced riders only.

Says over 800’ of climbing, it’s closer to 550’.
Very steep with lots of exposure, not a beginner trail.

After the viewpoint this trail gets steep with rocky tight switchbacks and steep chutes in which you can’t control speed when the soil is dry. Old school is correct as in this is a repurposed hiking trail(Not much flow). Considering other local options, I would skip this one unless the others are too wet. A local told me this is their winter trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
