Containing 35 named lakes and about many miles of trails - 25 of which are open to mountain bikers, Olallie Scenic Area is a haven for bikers and hikers alike. This route follows gravel road for the majority of the ride and outlines the scenic area while it passes right alongside Olallie Lake, as well at least five other named lakes. By late-July, the lakes are warm enough for swimming. Views of nearby Mt Hood are breathtaking throughout the route.
