Central Oregon Summit to Summit Party - August 27, 2022
Bend to Lava Butte by Bike
First the TL;DR: This is a five star bike ride. I HIGHLY recommend this route. This route passes many different trailheads and parking areas along the Deschutes River, so it is possible to put together a ride that is shorter and easier. Much of the route is gradual uphill with Lava Butte itself being the real kicker.
Upcoming Central Oregon Summit-to-Summit Party
Central Oregon wants to join the fun with their own Summit-to-Summit Party!
Highland Flat - Ochoco NF
Highland Flat is located in the Ochoco National Forest, approx 15 miles north of Priveville. In April 2019 I completed a first-time activation of the summit which is suprising since there's very good forest road access up to near the activation zone. My activation was more challanging due to snow which resulted in a 4-mile snowshoe hike. But this is usually an easy 4-pointer and recommended for anyone visiting the Prineville area.
