Bikepacking the High Cascades Overnighter || PNW || 75 Miles of mostly Singletrack!
I rode the High Cascades Overnighter bikepacking route on 7/24 - 7/25.
This is a fabulous route composed of almost entirely single track which takes you to beautiful alpine lakes and streams. I had my work cut out for me between the terrain and the heat.
Camp Notes:
Day 1: I started at Phils Trailhead, and camped at Little Lava Lake.
Day 2: Little Lava Lake back to Phils trailhead
If I were to do the route again, I would almost certainly stay at Little Lava Lake again.
Bike Setup:
- Ibis Ripmo AF (29er Full Suspension)
- Maxxis DHF in front and Maxxis Aggressor in rear(both 2.5 inch tires)
- No seatpost bag to maximize range on my dropper post
A hard tail with front suspension would be fine, but not as fun as a full suspension.
I have never ridden a true fat bike so I couldn’t comment on how well it would work
A fully rigid bike... If that’s all you’ve got, slap on some 2.8 and 3.0 tires and hold on! Totally doable, but if you’ve got something with some suspension take that!
