Beautiful Bend, OR, might just be heaven on Earth for the outdoor lover, and serious bikers can expect to seriously fall in love with this place. Trails of all kinds cover the areas around the city with terrain ranging from alpine forests to desert canyons and lava rock formations. One of the most popular short paths is the Bend Riverside Trial, a 5.9-mile easy ride with a few curb hops.

Distance: Take your pick – the city offers trails of all shapes and sizes

Difficulty: Again, lots of options in Bend

Don't Miss: We're fans of the 28-mile Sparks-Lava trail, which circles a volcano
