With the economy steaming ahead at full speed, the City of Sandy is in the midst of another period of sustained growth in our local economy. Right now, there are a number of indicators showing that Sandy is a great location for retail and other commercial expansion. Here are the top five reasons why we think that Sandy is the most profitable place to build your next commercial development:
MTB Project: Oregon - An excellent directory of all the best mountain bike rides and trails in Oregon. This smart-phone friendly website recently sponsored by REI includes user ratings, trail data, detailed trail descriptions and maps, current trail and weather conditions and much more!
The construction of Timberline Bike Park is now complete, and the park is open for business pending current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. For current information, click on the link below.
Tickle Creek Trail - This 1.8 mile packed gravel trail is an ideal off-road path for a leisurely family ride. Riders can use wide-tired commuter type bikes and kids bikes as wll as mountain bikes. The trail was completed by the City of Sandy in late summer 2011 to serve as a crosstown multi-use transportation corridor for cyclists and pedestrians. It is designed as an easy ride intended for all skill levels. This trail also has a lot of foot traffic, so please yield to pedestrians.
The Mount Hood National Forest (MHNF) contains over 1 million acres of some of the country's most beautiful terrain. The Government Camp Trail System is a collection of MHNF single-track mountain biking trails in the Zigzag Ranger District near the resort town of Government Camp on the south flank of Mount Hood. This system provides about 26 miles of trails, mostly in the easy to intermediate skill range, and includes access to Timberline Lodge, Trillium Lake, the old Barlow Trail and the Village of Rhododendron.
