Initiating at the Wanoga Sno-Park and terminating at the intersection with the Storm King and Tiddlywinks trails, Funner has rightly earned its name. Designed primarily for a top-down experience, this trail offers a playground of challenges and features that set it apart from many Bend area routes.
Access the Funner trail primarily from the Wanoga Sno-park, located approximately 14 miles west of Bend on Highway 46. It's the trail leaving from the east end, at the far end of the pump track. You can also access it from the Storm King trail near its intersection with Highway 46.
Though designed for a top-down experience, Funner can be ridden both ways. For those seeking a less conventional approach, riding uphill offers a different perspective but might induce some trail feature FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). However, if you're looking for an adrenaline-infused descent peppered with technical challenges, it's best to stick to the intended direction.
For riders in search of a trail that offers more than just smooth, flowing tracks, Funner adds a flavorful blend of technical obstacles into the mix. Whether it's the sudden appearance of lava rock gardens or the engineered drops and skinnies, Funner keeps even the most advanced riders on their toes. But it's not just for the adrenaline junkies; intermediate riders can also have their share of fun, thanks to 'ride-around' options. All in all, Funner lives up to its name, making it a must-ride trail for anyone looking to spice up their Bend biking experience.
