Larch Mountain Road

This trail leads you into the Mount Hood National Forest near Upper Green Point Reservoir. This area has many ATV and dirt bike trails, which cross the road in some places, so drive with care. The trail is a wide and smooth gravel road with little to no wash and ruts. There is a gradual incline and a section where rock has been dug out of the hill and is piled for road work. There is a section where the trees have been clear-cut, and you have a sweeping view of the hills and peaks stretching into the distance. This trail provides a great view of Mount Hood, and also out into the valley towards the desert. Cellphone service is weak but available to send messages and take calls. There is a good possibility of fallen trees, so a saw would be a good item to have with you. Any vehicle could travel this trail.
