Upper Last Chance is Mt. Bachelor's signature enduro trail with tight, technical turns and sharp berms. Expect to pedal and climb in a few sections. In a heavy snow year, Last Chance may not open for the season until later in the summer.

Access Info

Access Last Chance from the top of the Pine Marten chairlift.

      I loved this trail. It’s like old school, enduro style riding so maybe don’t ride it on a DH bike but I liked the challenge of the mix of tech with tight switchbacks. Super fun trail.

      Techy sand with tight turns, roots and big rocks. I liked how this trail was challenging and really gave you something to work on vs. a flow/jump trail. Mental workout as well!

      This is one of the very worst downhill trails I have ever ridden in a bike park.

      I am thankful I did not attempt this track on a dh bike. Lots of pedaling, quite a bit of uphills and long flat/gradually uphill traverses. Right switchbacks that’s are more properly found on hiking trails than biking (and I am not someone who specifically need big bermed out bike park corners everywhere).

      If you’re a fan of lifted assisted xc, this is your trail.

      If you’re on a bike with more than 100mm of travel both front and rear or enjoy having gravity assist you at a gravity assisted mountain bike park, this trail is not for you.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
