Trail Overview

Tight Forest Service road that leads from the Old Santiam Wagon Road up to the summit of Cache Mountain at 5800'. Many of the roads in this area are overgrown with manzanita bushes that will scratch and pinstripe larger vehicles. Once it gets tight, do not venture further if you value your paint. The views of the surrounding peaks from the summit of Cache Mountain are beautiful. There is only room for a small group at the summit and very few options to turn around as you make your way up. If you see that the summit is occupied, turn back.

Status Reports

I’d have to agree with a previous review. Coming in from the Cache Creek side was very narrow. You will definitely pinstripe your rig. The terrain was mostly 3, with a little bit of 4 here and there. What I spent most of my time doing coming up to turnoff for the last little segment up, was cringing at the sound of my paint scraping off. If you come in from the hoodoo side, it is quite a bit wider.

This is not a trail for a full size vehicles. This is a sxs trail. VERY NARROW. If you care at all about your paint, do not attempt. The trail needs to be cleared before anyone can summit.
