Oregon Day 3 - Bike C.O.D. Trail

Looking for the Deschutes River Trail.

05/04/12 Friday

We planned to ride the Deschutes River Trail near the Entrada Lodge, but it wasn’t what we were looking for—it’s more of a walking trail than biking trail.

Dad went back to see Mom and Nancy and I went back across the highway to jump on the C.O.D. trail.

One of the few technical sections.

The Cascade Lakes Highway runs next to an old lava flow, the edge of which provides some difficult rock ramps.

Once past the lava flow, the trail becomes typical Phil’s Trail flowy smoothness.

Junction #7—Phil’s / KGB.

The major trail junctions are marked by metal sculptures.

The riding here is a little more similar to what we encounter in Tahoe, such as the Summit Lake Trail, with its tricky granite sections.

Phil’s just has much, much less of the technical stuff.
