Peeling off from the Chehalem Ridge Trail in a dense forest, this trail quickly breaks into the open with views into the Tualatin Valley. It descends playfully down the hillside, cutting back and forth before intersecting with a gravel road. The trail continues for nearly half a mile on the gravel road (including up a steep hill) to another small segment of trail that loops around a meadow. While many riders may choose to turn around at the bottom of the main descent, the meadow loop is a worthy destination, especially in spring when the wildflowers are making their appearance.

Please be courteous and yield to pedestrians, equestrians, and ascending mountain bikers. Ride in control at all times, we're all outside, hoping to enjoy ourselves

Do not ride soil trails when they are wet, the damage can be difficult and costly to repair. The site has several improved-surface trails that can handle the rain so ride them when the other trails are muddy.

Metro parks do not allow dogs because unfortunately our canine friends are perceived as predators; impacting wildlife behavior, nesting, and feeding patterns. Please leave your pooch at home when riding at Chehalem Ridge. Thank you!
