Did
you know that Bicycling Magazine chose the Crater
Lake Loop as one of its top ten rides?
One of the most beautiful and undiscovered
places in southwestern Oregon, Crater Lake sits
cradled inside the cone of a dormant volcano. The
lake was created when Mt. Mazama erupted over 7,000
years ago and the resulting crater slowly filled
with water. To us, the best part of this geographic
wonder is that it can be explored on two wheels
instead of four. 
You'll be able to experience the unique geology
of this area first-hand and close-up. You'll see
new shades of deep-blue, and breathe some of the
cleanest mountain air on the planet.
Our bike trip will start in Medford, and then work
its way into rolling farm and forested terrain south
of the park. A great way to get warmed up and to
build the anticipation of the big payoff - Crater
Lake! Day two starts the climb up to the rim of
the crater for our very first views of the lake
- a spectacle that will leave you breathless, if
the climb up to the crater didn't do it for you.
You'll feel rewared with a great sense of accomplishment
and a photo opportunity of a lifetime.
It doesn't end there, though. Day three is a fun
day where we will bike around the lake and then
hike down to water level to take a boat ride across
the water. This is a beautiful ride that undulates
along the rim and through the surrounding forest.
On Day four we head north to the Umpqua River.
Now we are traveling down, down, down and the last
night of the trip is spent at a famous fly fishing
lodge on the banks of the Umpqua River.
Elevations on this trip range from 2,800 to 7,100
feet, so get ready to work your legs. However, when
you’ve had enough our support van will be
ready for you. You have the opportunity to control
the challenge. Lodging includes a great bed and
breakfast and the Crater Lake Lodge.
This is truly a trip of a lifetime.
