Deschutes River Trail

The climbing is back-loaded — the 0.58 miles stay comparatively easy before most of the 162 ft of gain arrives late. The main climb starts around mile 0.19 and runs 0.15 miles, gaining 83 ft at an average 10%. You finish 82 ft below the start, so an out-and-back saves the climbing for the return.

At 0.6 miles it is one of the shorter routes among the 13 trails mapped in Bend.

It climbs more per mile than 77% of trails in Bend.
