TRAVERSE THROUGH OLD GROWTH FORESTS AND VOLCANIC FIELDS
Brown Mountain trail system has a small network of trails including the Brown Mountain Tr, High Lakes Tr, and Fish Lake Tr. The Brown Mountain trail crosses the Pacific Crest Tr (No bicycles on PCT) in two places. It is a do-not-miss experience on the border of Klamath and Jackson County near Lake of the Woods and Fish Lake.
The High Lakes Trail is an uber-groomed easy trail between the Lake of the Woods resort and Fish Lake that then can be extended around the mountain on Brown Mountain Tr for those looking for a more technical adventure.
Rye Spur is a hidden gem traversing through PNW conifer forests topping out on a dramatic rocky, scenic outcrop. The trail makes for a great out and back hike or loop mountain bike utilizing either forest roads or the Cascade Canal. It is generally ridden in the downhill direction.
