Trail Overview

Gravel Forest Service Road climbing out of the popular Skull Hollow campground up onto the shoulder of Gray Butte in the Crooked River National Grasslands. This road has multiple roadside pullouts used for dispersed camping by climbers visiting nearby Smith Rock State Park. This road climbs up above 3500', so it is often snowbound during the winter months. The East end of the road, the campground, and the lower dispersed camping spots are accessible year-round.
