Hike the Trails at Mt Bachelor

3 reasons this is a great time to hike at Mt Bachelor:

1. No mosquitoes!
2. Trails are mostly snow-free below 8,200 ft.
3. No mosquitoes!

11 (or 7) miles, 2,000 vertical feet
We'll start at the West Village base and take the new (opened in 2024) Evergreen Trail up to Pine Marten Lodge where we'll have an early lunch. Bring your own, or order off the new menu there: salads, pizza, burgers, etc. There will be a free optional 20 minute interpretive ranger talk during lunch. You'll probably recognize the ranger. ;-)

Then we'll hike up the service road to the top of the Northwest lift where we can see around the corner to the lakes and hills to the southwest. We'll explore a couple of unique tree and lava features along the way.

Then we'll walk back down to Pine Marten where people can choose to ride the lift down for free (saving 4 miles), or return via the Evergreen Trail.
