Eugene Mountain Bike Vacation
Trails
Eula Ridge Trail
Eula Ridge is a short drive from Eugene, and even shorter if you’re camping at Fall Creek. It’s a tough climb up, but worth it when 3,000 feet of descending shoots you down the four-mile trail, through moss covered trees and loamy dirt.
Whypass Trails

Just 45 minutes outside of Eugene, you’ll find the Alpine Trail – one of Oregon’s best-known trails. Located in Oakridge, this is one of our favorite intermediate trails in the country. Nothing too technical, just a smooth cruise with a handful of fast descents.

Camping
Fall Creek Campground
Fall Creek caters to your more primitive side. What they lack in electricity and amenities is made up by large amount of trails in the area. Tent sites start at $19, and it’s still a close drive back to Eugene if you forgot supplies.

Tours & Guides
