Dirt Road Dash

Get ready for a rugged adventure on the Desert Ridge Trail, located on DNR land. This trail is not for the faint of heart, with its potholed, rocky, and dirt road that'll put your vehicle (and your nerves) to the test. It's a little bumpy, but the desert vibes and stunning views make it worth it. As you navigate the trail, be sure to keep an eye out for livestock gates - you'll need to open them to pass through, but don't forget to close them behind you, we don't want any wandering cows getting lost. Dispersed camping areas are scattered throughout the trail, so feel free to pull over and set up shop for the night. Just be sure to follow the usual rules and regulations. As always, don't forget to tread lightly, clean up after yourself, leave public land cleaner than you found it, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy what Oregon has to offer.
