This is primarily a winter riding area due to the sandy soils. Winter rain and snow doesn't hit this area as hard, and trails are often prime in the winter months.
The Saddle is one of 3 downhill trails on Cline Butte. Almost as technically challenging as Trail 1. Many people ride laps up the fire road and down the saddle.
This trail is maintained by Central Oregon Trail Alliance.
get it while you can. Trail is all dry with a little moisture near the canyon.
Riding great today
report: single track down still has a bunch of snow. Most of it rideable but one small hike-a-bike section.
Dirt had dried enough to not be slick and was just about perfect.
