The loop is flat enough to be ridden in either direction.
Most of the ride is on barely used BLM roads or doubletrack, a pleasant way to spend an afternoon if staying in the La Pine area.
Directions: Ride can start from Fort Rock State Park, or just drive up to the crater and ride around. View Larger Map. No Map?.
