McKenzie Pass from Belknap Hot Springs

Ride the iconic McKenzie Pass to the top, to Windy Point or even to Sisters and back starting from Belknap Hot Springs.
In my opinion, one of the best rides in all of Oregon and annual favorite of many.

Some plan to stay overnight and ride Aufderheide the following day (see Meetup event) before proceeding south to other rides, but like the other rides listed, you can also do McKenzie as a standalone ride.

This is the full route to Sisters and back (76 miles, 6400')
To the top and back (46 miles, 4000')
Windy Point and back (53 miles, 4700')

Hosted by Jenny (pending work) and/or Brandon.
I'm planning to drive down from Portland (2.5 hour drive) in the morning, and camp overnight in Belknap Hot Springs (which has actual hot springs) on June 18 & 19. You can also get a room in the lodge or a cabin to share there.

I'm in the T17 campsite area along the river.

Book early - lots of campsites available for Weds night, Thurs not so many. If there are no tent sites available when you reserve then another possibility is to book a room or share a cabin. For additional camping the Paradise and McKenzie Bridge campgrounds are just a few miles down the road, the Olallie up the pass road, day passes are available for Belknap Hot Springs soaking pools.

Possible ride, hike or chill in the hot springs post ride or on Friday the 20th, I'm planning to depart the area by 1pm on Friday to reach Powers for the Tour de Fronds Ride.
