Trail Overview

This road is an easy trail that a 2WD vehicle can access. There is one section that has washed out a bit, but even for 2WD in good weather with the right tire placement, you will be able to pass it. On a beautiful clear day, you won't be disappointed with the views, between the burned trees, you will be blessed with amazing valley views with towering rock formations. If you stop and stand to listen for just a moment, you might be able to hear the wind howling through the trees and rock; it's something spectacular. There are multiple water sources on this road, from a small stream, the Middle Fork Willamette River, and two small yet insanely loud waterfalls hidden in the thick brush. If you are into hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding, there is a multi-use trail that is 32 miles long called The Middle Fork Willamette Trail #3609. There is little to no cellphone service in this area. If you need reception, the Dairy Queen near Chevron offers WiFi. Stop for breakfast or a full menu all day. Remember to always pack it in and pack it out, tread lightly, and keep our trails open!
