E-bikes NOT allowed on Canyon
The Canyon Trail takes you from Smith Rock State Park parking area down to the bridge at the center of the Park. This is a heavily used hiking trail, so ride very slow and yield to hikers. Luckily it’s basically a road so there is plenty of room for lots of people.
There is a steep trail that most hikers take a short ways down called The Chute, but the trail is off limits to bikes. Instead go straight down the double track.
At the hair-pin turn you can take a left and explore the Canyon Trail West, or cross the bridge to connect to the Wolf Tree or River trails.
Smith rock was perfect today. Almost no people, no mud, no signs of mud, sunshine. Light wind. Doesn’t get better.
