McKenzie Pass Scenic Tour

Description

Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of McKenzie Pass on a guided bicycle tour, with a unique opportunity to ride on a road that is typically closed to motor vehicles before June 15th. Booking the trip before this date will allow you to ride without any cars, enhancing the serene atmosphere of this incredible journey. If you venture out early enough, you'll be amazed by giant snow walls on both sides of the road, formed by plows clearing the way for the summer season – a truly spectacular sight!

The climb to the top is not for the faint of heart, but the reward is worth it. You'll be greeted by a lava-rock moonscape that spreads out before you for miles, a view unlike anything you've probably ever encountered on a bike ride. Along the way, you'll follow an 1860s wagon route and pass through Windy Point, where you'll get a great view of Mt. Washington and your first look at the vast, 2,000-year-old lava flow.

At the summit, you'll be able to explore the lava-rock-constructed Dee Wright Observatory, which provides 360-degree views of mountains, buttes, and other topography. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!
