Cline Falls to Smith Rock S.P.

One of prettiest local rides, this week’s ride is a 30 mile route that starts at Cline Falls State Park, goes north through Redmond, then east to Smith Rock State Park, and then loops back to Clline Falls State Park. The ride is mostly on rural roads, with the except of crossing Highways 126 and 97. The views on this ride are just great!

 Smith Rocks are made up of layers of recent basalt flows overlaying older Clarno ash and tuff formations. Approximately 30 million years ago, a large caldera was formed when overlying rock collapsed into an underground lava chamber. This created a huge amount of rock and ash debris that filled the caldera. That material solidified into rock, becoming Smith Rock tuff. Rhyolite flows intruded along faults in the Smith Rock Tuff. A half million years ago, basalt lava flows from nearby volcanoes covered the older tuff.


Please check email Tuesday morning, I will cancel the ride of the Air Quality Index is greater than 60.
