Trail Overview

This is a short offshoot trail from FR-58 that offers spectacular 360-degree views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, and more, depending on visibility. As soon as you turn off FR-58, you'll see a stunning view of Mount Hood. It's only about a 20-minute hike from the bottom if you are unsure whether your vehicle can manage the narrow, rutted, off-camber, and rocky trail. Once you reach the end of the drivable portion, there is a large turnaround and a walking trail to the top of High Rock.

Difficulty

This trail should not be attempted in anything less capable than a full-size 4x4. The beginning is heavily rutted with one off-camber section. On the switchback up to the viewpoint there are medium-sized rocks jutting sharply out of the ground, take care here to not damage the underside of your vehicle.
