The 724 Mera Loop is a moderate mountain biking trail in the La Grande Ranger District of Oregon's Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. It's a loop that stays roughly flat, with no elevation gain, and it's built for intermediate riders who want a mix of flowing singletrack and technical sections. The trail's loop format makes it a satisfying ride that lets you ride the same route back the way you came. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grande show July and August highs in the mid-80s with only three or four wet days a month, while winter brings highs near 39°F and a few snow days each month. Several other trails sit close by. The 755 Sasquatch is just 0.1 mile away, and the 750 Ricochet and 747 Upper Conley are within about a mile. Climbers can head to the Concert Hall climbing area, about 2.9 miles off.
