Bike Shuttle Service – Trails We Cover

Peterson Ridge Trail System

The Peterson Ridge Trails (PRT) in Sisters were first built in 1989 as a network of mountain bike trails, combining singletrack paths with old Forest Service roads. A major expansion in 2008 added over 20 miles of singletrack and introduced signage and trail markers to help with navigation. The trails are mostly level and relatively non-technical, though some sections feature rocks and roots for riders to navigate. Designed in a ladder-style layout, the network includes east and west legs connected by a series of shorter trails.

  • Peterson Ridge Trail West - Upper

    Peterson Ridge West-Upper: Upper is a 3-mile blue-rated singletrack trail that can be ridden in both directions. It offers a nice mix of flow and mild technical features, making it a great choice for intermediate riders. With an average ride time of around 27 minutes, it’s a solid standalone option or a fun link-up within a longer route.

  • Peterson Ridge Trail West - Middle

    Peterson Ridge West-Middle: Middle is a versatile trail that rides well in both directions, whether you're climbing or descending. Compared to PRT East or PRT West, Middle offers a bit more technical challenge, with a higher concentration of blue-rated sections. Riders can expect tighter turns, rock features, and short punchy climbs or descents that add variety and keep things interesting. It's a great option for those looking to step up from beginner-friendly trails without diving into anything too advanced.

  • Peterson Ridge Trail West - Lower

    Peterson Ridge West-Lower: The PRT West trail is part of a ladder-style mountain bike system, running parallel to PRT East with a series of numbered connectors in between. These junctions let riders create loops of varying length and difficulty, offering a flexible ride with scenic ridge views and a mix of terrain.

  • Peterson Ridge Trail East - Upper

    Peterson Ridge East-Upper: The East trails offer scenic, beginner-friendly XC riding with a few short, rocky sections that lean intermediate. Best ridden as a counter-clockwise loop—out on the West trail, back on the East—you’ll find plenty of connectors for customizing distance. Expect mellow terrain overall, with the far end of the loop bringing steeper climbs and tighter singletrack. A great spot to cruise through the pines and enjoy ridge views to the west.

  • Peterson Ridge Trail East - Lower

    Peterson Ridge East- Lower: Lower is a 3-mile, popular green-rated singletrack trail, primarily ridden downhill.

Most riders complete it in about 14 minutes, providing a quick but enjoyable downhill experience. It's a great option for a warm-up or a relaxed ride through scenic terrain.

  • Peterson Ridge Tie

    Peterson Ridge Tie: This trail connects the upper section of Trail 99 to the Peterson Ridge trail system—and it does it with style. It kicks off just past a road crossing, dropping you into a shady, tree-lined gully for about a mile of fast, flowy singletrack. Expect smooth turns around trees and rocks, with optional jumps and features for riders who want to catch a little air.

    After the descent, you'll climb out of the canyon and roll through a mix of flat, winding, and sandy corners beneath open forest. The final stretch levels out as you cruise into the upper parking lot of the Peterson Ridge system. Fun and functional all the way.
