My car-free weekend adventure on the Oregon Timber Trail

My car-free weekend adventure on the Oregon Timber Trail. Read all about it here.

“The Stiletsi and White Crane route seemed like a perfect route for a car-free adventure since it starts in The Dalles and does a 150-mile loop to Hood River, both of which are easily accessible by public transportation from Portland. My lack of recent bikepacking had me unsure how hard it would be for me or how long it would take– or if I should go at all. It had been so long that I had forgotten what I’m capable of. I was rusty riding loaded and every time I do it, it’s a shock how much harder it is than riding unloaded. But the perfect 70-degree sunny weather we were having in October wouldn’t last and if there was a weekend to do it, the time was now, whether it took me two days or three.”
