The Oregon Timber Trail is an iconic 670-mile back country mountain bike route spanning Oregon’s diverse landscapes from California to the Columbia River Gorge.
The Oregon Timber Trail Alliance has identified 9 gateway communities that make the Oregon Timber Trail experience possible. Parkdale, Oregon, is one of them, mile 639, #ottmile639. It’s in Parkdale that riders can get supplies, get a hot meal and a cold beer and stay at the Old Parkdale Inn.
As a lodging option for trail riders on their last night on the trail, riders can choose a hot shower and comfy bed in the inn, when available or a tent spot in our gardens, always available. Tenters will be allowed to use our personal facilities. You can also choose to have breakfast to get you started on your last leg into Hood River.
Charge your devices. Hydrate.
Walk into town, less than two blocks, and choose between Solera Brewery, Apple Valley BBQ or Baseline Biscuits for a delicious meal or a cold beer. Mt. Hood Creamery scoops up hand crafted small batch ice creams and makes the best milkshakes around. Moby Coffee Roasters offers Free Trade and Organic coffee in bulk, to go, or in their cozy coffee bar, open Friday through Monday. We serve Moby Coffee here at the Old Parkdale Inn. Shop McIssac’s Grocery or Parkdale Hardware for supplies.
Riders are encouraged to sign the Trail Logs, one at each Gateway Community, where you can read accounts of other rider’s journeys and add your own stories. We have the Parkdale Trail Log here at the Old Parkdale Inn.
