This route is the little cousin of the 5 Star route Dufur & Friend. For full route details, see the Dufur & Friend route guide.

It is a great ride rolling through wheat and hay fields, climbing into the Mt. Hood National forest (on gravel and a rugged single lane paved road) and giving back with a 6 mile “let go of the brakes” descent. We have ridden this route and love it!

This is a 5-star route from start to finish—but due to limited funding, some key elements may be missing or limited, like ride photos, a route video, a “Love Where You Ride” feature, and detailed points of interest. If you’ve already donated to Dirty Freehub, thank you—you make this work possible. If not, we invite you to support our mission. Your contribution helps us create and maintain high-quality, free route guides that benefit the entire gravel cycling community.
