Hood River & Mount Hood Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Hood River and the north side of Mount Hood pair Columbia Gorge and Cascade riding. Post Canyon's flow trails sit above town, while Sandy Ridge and Surveyor's Ridge offer purpose-built and high-traverse singletrack. Loamy volcanic soils ride tacky and grippy, with a season shaped by the Cascade snowpack and the Gorge's rain.
