With countless mountain peaks in view, rolling hills and one of the most breathtaking views of Cove Palisades State Park, it’s hard for cyclists to not love Madras Mountain Views Scenic Bikeway.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Vickie chats with Jamie about her most recent bike trip to central Oregon, where she biked 29-mile loop to celebrate her birthday.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Vickie shares her thoughts on her first visit to central Oregon.
  • Oregon is home to 17 different designated scenic bikeways scattered throughout the state.
  • A breakdown of the route and what to expect.
  • Options for lodging, including camping, for this trip.
  • Our favorite place to grab a cinnamon roll in Madras.
