Which Tour to do?
«

First off, thanks to bikepacker.net and it's members for contributing to a great forum and informational site.
I will be taking off for my first tour in August. Originally I was going to bike from Yellowstone to Glacier via the Continental Divide Route. After long consideration I would rather go for something with more singletrack.
My criteria are basically this:
1-2 week tour
A good amount of singletrack
Milder temps (<90)
Something outside of the Rocky Mtns. but within the West
Also I was so jacked up I bought a single-wheel trailer ( a BOB knockoff TWBents). If the trailer can be utilized that would be great as well.
I was leaning toward the Orgeon three rivers trail. Its a 7-10 tour from what I understand.
ANY input is appreciated - I just want to get out for a bit!

I'd highly recommend the Oregon rivers tour. It's one of few singletrack routes I've done that might be reasonable with a trailer. In any case, it's a good one for a first bikepack. You should check snow levels, but you may be able to add more higher elevation trail to the route.
