Trail Overview

This is a short offshoot trail from FR-58 that offers spectacular 360-degree views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, and more, depending on visibility. As soon as you turn off FR-58, you'll see a stunning view of Mount Hood. It's only about a 20-minute hike from the bottom if you are unsure whether your vehicle can manage the narrow, rutted, off-camber, and rocky trail. Once you reach the end of the drivable portion, there is a large turnaround and a walking trail to the top of High Rock.

Difficulty

This trail should not be attempted in anything less capable than a full-size 4x4. The beginning is heavily rutted with one off-camber section. On the switchback up to the viewpoint there are medium-sized rocks jutting sharply out of the ground, take care here to not damage the underside of your vehicle.

Only one real obstacle near the top that involves some larger rocks around a corner. These can mostly be avoided with some careful tire placement. The ditch at the beginning is also easily to navigate with the right line. Easily drove this with my 2WD 4runner. I have a lift but definitely could have made it easily with a stock 2WD 4 runner. This would be a great beginner trail to get familiar with your vehicle on some straight forward obstacles. The views are fantastic.
