Post Canyon Trail System

Post Canyon is a large network of trails located on the west side of Hood River. There are numerous riding options, anything from big gaps to flowing downhill and twisty cross-country. You can link it together in countless ways. The vast majority of the trails are on the Hood River County Tree Farm which brings in about 30% of Hood River County's budget. These trails are a secondary use of the forest and are run by the Hood River County Forestry Dept.

Parking and Riding at Post Canyon Trails

A Hood River County Parking Pass is required to park at any of the HRC Trailheads. Please visit the Hood River County website to purchase your day or yearly parking pass! There are four trail heads commonly used by mountain bikers.

When to Ride

Post Canyon is best spring through fall, particularly a day or so after a light rain. It should be avoided after a heavy rain or if temperatures are below freezing the previous night. Freezing temperatures, especially in recently logged areas where there is little protection from trees, can cause freeze thaw and muddy conditions. Use your best judgement and turn around if conditions are too muddy! Your trail builders will thank you!
