Roadside Oregon

Perhaps my favorite place in the mountains, I have MANY photographs of Roaring Creek. Walking up and down the banks is an incredible experience. Walking the banks takes you into a deep green, mossy, wet, noisy photographers paradise - at least in my opinion…

Take Hwy 224, which runs from Detroit to Estacada, and turn on Forest Service road 4685 (14 miles from Detroit). You can not miss this view on the left side of the road at 2.25 miles in. There is a small parking area on the right, at the second of three trailheads for the Breitenbush Gorge trail.

You can find a Google Map of the area here.
