Shevlin Commons to China Hat

A longer version of a recent ride out to China Hat. This week’s ride is a 35 mile route that starts at Shevlin Common Trailhead, which is accessed off of Park Commons Dr. near intersection with NW Shevlin Park Rd. We'll ride through the west side of Bend and find our way out to China Hat Road and back. This ride is half urban and half rural, so be aware of the traffic in Bend.

China Hat is probably one of the prettiest rides in the area and includes great views of several parasitic volcanic cones associated with Newberry Crater, one of the largest calderas in the US. The Three Sisters, as well as other Cascade volcanoes, are also visible on the ride. Also of interest is Boyd Cave, part of the Arnold Ice Cave system, which can be found near where China Hat Road turns to gravel (our turnaround). This lava tube system is also associated with Newberry Crater. The ride is out and back, so we will follow the reverse route back to Shevlin Commons Trailhead.
