Wide, graded cinder Forest Service Road with occasional rocky sections. This road runs North - South between historic McKenzie Highway and the historic Old Santiam Road. Spur roads to the West dead-end shortly at the Eastern edge of the Mount Washington Wilderness. These roads are snowbound from December through April, not maintained in winter and are popular spots for the Central Oregon snow-wheeling crowd.
