Oregon’s Blue Mountains, June 2016

June 16, 2016 by Paul McClellan Leave a Comment

Oregon’s Blue Mountains are uplift mountains located in Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington. This mountain range consists of several subranges and is a part of the larger Columbia River Plateau. A friend of mine and I had scheduled an attempt of Matterhorn Peak in the Jarbidge Mountains of Northeast Nevada for early June.

Since my travel route passed through Oregon’s Blue Mountains I decided to visit several prominence peaks there on my way out and back to Northeast Nevada. Due to the snow and high water conditions in the Jarbidge Mountains visiting prominence peaks in the Blue Mountains proved to be the highlight of my trip.

Oregon Bicycle Ride 1997

January 31, 2010 by Paul McClellan Leave a Comment

In August 1997 Linda and I joined Oregon Bicycle Ride 1997, a supported bicycle camping tour traveling from Denio Junction, Nevada, to Gold Beach, Oregon. This tour was organized by Bicycle Rides Northwest, a company based in Bend, Oregon.

Several Salem Bicycle Club members, including Lando and Mary, had described to us how much they enjoyed previous Oregon Bicycle Rides. These rides are supported bicycle camping tours. The company carries the bicyclists’ camping gear from camp to camp, provides rest stops and support along the route, and breakfast, dinner, and showers at the camps.
