The trail near Cultus Lake is excellent for mountain biking.

While the forecast this weekend looks a little on the damp side, there’s still a chance of getting outside to play.

Head south of Bend toward the lush forests or to the arid ancient lake beds of Lake County for some solitude, whichever terrain you’re into.
