Designed by Michael Wolfe, this route is a mix of prairies, a quiet riverside out-n-back, and a climb on the eastern ridgeline to Silver Falls State Park, back through Silverton, and into Canby. Years ago there was a fire near Table Rock and lots has grown back. This is an excellent late summer ride as it is as challenging as it is beautiful. But you don’t have to take my word for it: here’s a report from 2014.
