Hiking

Located in the Deschutes National Forest, Mt. Bachelor is the gem of Oregon's High Desert. It is the perfect location to enjoy a summer day hike.  The resort is covered with a number of gentle to more advanced hiking trails.  Guests are welcome to hike from any of the parking lots.  If you plan to hike to the 9,065 foot Summit you can either start at the Sunrise Lodge base area and go directly to the top, or take the Pine Marten lift (ticket required) from the West Village base to mid-mountain (7,775 elevation) and hike from there to the Summit. Please be aware, however that any hiking trails above the Pine Marten Lodge are uncontrolled and not patrolled.  You will be hiking at your own risk.

Trails

NOTE: Many of the trails remain under heavy snowpack.  Estimated melt should occur sometime in mid to late July.  Please check here for updates.

A description of hiking trails is forthcoming.

Be Prepared

Due to the large amount of lava rock, we highly recommend wearing sturdy boots. Be sure to dress in layers that can be easily added or removed. Central Oregon weather can change rapidly, especially at higher elevations, and it is not uncommon to go from sun to rain and back again.  As with any hike, be prepared for all conditions. Bring extra water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a long-sleeve layer or light jacket, as well as any other items typically brought on a hike.  Patrollers are stationed at mid-mountain.  If you choose to hike above the Pine Marten Lodge, please be aware that area is uncontrolled and not patrolled.  You will be hiking at your own risk.
