East Steens
Princeton, Oregon
East Steens Road is the main access road into the surreal Alvord Desert Playa. East Steen's skirts along the eastern escarpment of Steens Mountain and the vast expanses of the Alvord Desert provide a scenic study in dramatic contrasts. Bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope can be seen adjacent to the road with binoculars. East Steens is also the access to Mickey Alvord Wells that goes to Mickey Hot Springs. There is no camping along East Steens Road, but spurs and access roads from the road offer great camping sites.

Bonney Meadows Road
Government Camp, Oregon
Starting at the notch between the Hood River drainage, the White River drainage, and Boulder Creek Basin, Bonney Meadows Road wanders through the forest and across a fun shelf road on its way down to the paved forest roads in the Barlow Road corridor. Huge meadows full of wildflowers peak through the forest to the east of the road. A fun side trail to an aerial raptor highway is just a mile from a great Forest Service campground. Down at lower elevations, old clear cuts are thick with young trees and dispersed camping.

Knob Loop
Clatskanie, Oregon
Knob Loop is one of five 4x4 trails and part of the Nicolai Mountain ORV Park located in the Clatsop State Forest, just 8 miles west of Clatskanie, Oregon. The trail winds about 2 miles through old-growth forest and can be a challenge with all the tree root systems especially when visiting in the spring or late fall when standing mud and water can really be expected. During this write-up, the author did have to winch out of one obstacle but for the most part, this trail was very fun and challenging in June. Please do not attempt to bypass any part of the trail and be ready for recovery if attempted.

Upper Tunnel Road
Owyhee Heights, Oregon
Upper Tunnel Road splits off from the popular Succor Creek Road, which takes sightseers and campers into the Owyhee range and the incredible Leslie Gulch area. Upper Tunnel is a shortcut from this route to the Owyhee Reservoir and multiple campgrounds and fishing spots. Sharp and uneven rocks dominate the first two-thirds of the route on a seldom-used two-track with steep inclines on loose gravel. Airing down is highly recommended, as these rocks can lead to tire punctures. There are numerous beautiful sights, including a spectacular reservoir overlook and surrounding canyons. This portion of the route is difficult and rough but doable for most 4x4s with clearance.
The last third of the trail becomes severe, with a very steep descent and multiple tight switchbacks on a dangerously loose rock-laden trail. This portion is not for the faint of heart and inexperienced offroaders. Please note that pictured in this review is a trailer. This is not advised on this trail and only increases the difficulty and risk level on this expert-level descent.
The beautiful reservoir includes three campgrounds, top-tier fishing opportunities, and water-based recreation.

Blowout Reservoir Road
Sheaville, Oregon
Blowout Reservoir Road is the main access road to Jordan Craters, Coffeepot Crater, and the historic Birch Creek Ranch. It begins at the junction of Jordan Craters Road and Lodge Ranch Road, and ends at the junction of Morcum Road and Crater Lake Road. The landscape first begins as a high rolling desert, with free-ranging cattle, and then finally, to the left, the lava fields of Jordan Craters become visible as the road winds along the edge of the lava. The road is mainly flat with occasionally wet weather creek crossings. It is best suited for four-wheel-drive vehicles or vigilant AWD drivers with clearance. This road can easily become impassable after even a quarter-inch of rain.

Beaverdam Road
Glenwood, Oregon
Beaverdam Road is a forest service road located in the Tillamook State Forest. This is a major access road with access to many 4x4 Jeep trails including: "University Firepower", "Cedar Tree" and "Firebreak Five". There is a detour where you turn off onto "University Falls Road" for about a half mile due to bridge work. There are many side roads with dispersed camping spots and really awesome views of the surrounding hills. There is a campground called "Browns Camp ORV Campground." This is also a staging area for parking tow rigs and trailers. This campground is designated only for OHV camping.

Can Opener #28B / Tillamook State Forest
Tillamook, Oregon
The challenging obstacle at the end of Can Opener gives the trail its name and makes this a fun trail for rock crawlers. After crossing a gatekeeper boulder field, the trail heads up a steep hill to a boulder pile at the top of the hill. Many big, built rigs spend hours playing around on the boulders and trying the more challenging lines through the obstacle. The shaded forest setting and ample parking make this a great spot to spend a little time watching 4x4s crawl through the forest.

North Paulina Road
Deschutes River Woods, Oregon
This is a point-to-point route connecting Highway 97 and Paulina Lake Road. Driving is much more challenging than most of the surrounding roads and trails.
It starts like most of the forest service roads in the area. After about 10 miles, though, it starts to climb and traverse several buttes and mountains. You will experience narrow and off-camber sections, 12" ledges, lots of rocky and rutted tracks, and a lot of great wheeling that will give a beginning wheeler a good experience. Experienced drivers will find the route easier.
Several areas along the route allow dispersed camping. The road it connects to, FS21, also leads to numerous improved camping areas by Paulina and East Lake.

Firebreak One / Tillamook State Forest
Banks, Oregon
Firebreak One is a great introduction to the Tillamook State Forest and the Brown's Camp Area. As soon as the trail plunges into the moss-covered, dripping wet forest of the Oregon Coast Range, the adventure begins. The trail winds through second growth timber on the way to the top of the ridge where it suddenly bursts through the trees into a vast clear-cut with sweeping views to the west. The trail turns into a gravel road on top of the ridge and continues through a mix of second and third growth forest, and clear-cuts on its way down to one of the main roads through the forest.

Cold Springs Road
Government Camp, Oregon
The alpine meadow section of Cold Springs Road runs through lush meadows full of wildflowers and butterflies. Small wet springs in the forest produce vibrant bursts of wildflowers under the shade of the forest canopy. The ample dispersed camping along Cold Springs Road never fills up even on the busiest of weekends. At the beginning of Cold Springs Road, peaks of Mount Hood looming large round out this trail to be a very scenic drive.

Clark Mill Road and Tygh Valley Road
Tygh Valley, Oregon
The combined trail of Clark Mill Road and Tygh Creek Road begins at the old two room schoolhouse in the community of Friend, Oregon in the middle of rolling fields of wheat and hay. Mount Hood looms on the horizon to the west where the mountain's snow-pack helps to provide water to the entire region. The trail passes through oak savanna and grasslands with big views to the south of Central Oregon before plunging into the beginning of the canyon that hides Jordan Creek. A hidden waterfall waits to be discovered at Waypoint 5 where an old mill once stood before the trail continues down along the rim of the canyon. Near where Jordan Creek and Tygh Creek meet, the trail plunges into the canyon where fallow farm fields are tucked away between gnarled old cottonwood trees. A shallow stream crossing just before the end of the trail at Waypoint 6 helps to wash the dirt off of tires before the Clark Mill Road and Tygh Creek Road trail comes to an end at the blacktop outside of Tygh Valley, Oregon.

Antelope Springs Road
Adrian, Oregon
Antelope Springs Road is a wonderful trail that winds thru the Owyhee grasslands and overlooks the steep gorges of the Succor Creek State Natural Area. Located in eastern Oregon, this trail is just over the border of Idaho and a part of the Bureau of Land Management. Coming from Succor Creek, the trail begins at the Succor Creek Campground. It includes a couple of wet weather creek crossings. This is a favorite area for rockhounds to find thundereggs and fossils. This is also part of a popular route that combines Jump Creek Falls in Marsing, Idaho, and the Succor Creek State Natural Area. The best time to visit is late spring, early summer, and fall.

7 Up (Easy Way) / Tillamook State Forest
Banks, Oregon
The 7 Up (Easy Way) trail is a challenging but manageable adventure through the forest to the top of the hill where the iconic 7 Up (Hard Way) trail connects. There are three legs to 7 Up which include two legs that are passable by normal 4x4s (detailed in this trail description) and one leg that is a challenge for even the most built buggies (detailed as the 7 Up (Hard Way) trail). On warm summer afternoons, rock buggies can often be found battling up the 7 Up (Hard Way) trail where they often break axles, drive lines, and occasionally flip over and crash down the hill. The 7 Up (Easy Way) trail is a popular trail that many overlanders enjoy throughout the year. The trail winds up and down through a deep, dark forest where night time comes hours ahead of schedule. Thick moss hangs from the trees in some areas and lends a magical, enchanted aura to the trail especially in the late afternoon and early evening.

Coldsprings Road is a 10-mile drive through a mature pine forest ending at the Coldsprings hiking trail. Coldsprings Road connects to FS-3652-980, which takes you up to the top of Pelican Peak and a Fire-watch observation tower. The road is in excellent condition and will probably be an awesome snow-wheeling road. Multiple camping spots along this road with views of the surrounding hills make this a great road to explore.

Hogs Back / Tillamook State Forest
Banks, Oregon
Hog's Back is a fun trail that follows the spine of a ridge and hides a few surprises. On the top of the ridge, a rock garden has been installed for anyone wishing to test their skills. The descent into the dense forest on the north end of the trail becomes tricky as the trees close in on the road. Full size vehicles are not recommended but most SUVs and light pickups can make it through by executing three point turns as needed. A big view to the north peeks through the trees as the road hugs the edge of a cliff overlooking a quarry. Hog's Back has a little of everything and is a worthwhile trail to explore in the Tillamook State Forest.

Stick in the Nose #37 / Tillamook State Forest
Tillamook, Oregon
Stick in the Nose is an apt name for this tight trail where brush encroaches on both sides of the dirt track and tree branches hang low. Gatekeeper obstacles and a challenging rocky obstacle halfway along the trail make for a challenging but achievable adventure through third growth forest on the way up to the top of Fox Creek Ridge. On clear days, Archer's Ridge across the Jordan Creek drainage can be seen to the north. On rainy, cloudy days, driving on Stick in the Nose feels like going to another planet where it is highly unlikely any other vehicles or people will be encountered.

South Fork Road
Jordan Creek, Oregon
South Fork Road is located in the Tillamook State Forest. The road intersects with US Highway 6 and climbs up into the western end of the forest. This major access road connects to many 4x4 Jeep trails, including Hoodraiser, Archers Firebreak #28, Can Opener #28B, 7 Up, and Waldo's Way. When explored, there are many side roads where you will find dispersed camping spots and some really awesome views of the surrounding hills.

Tillamook, Oregon
Archers Firebreak #28H starts out and ends mild but in between the trail can get pretty wild. The trail is a continuation of the Archers Firebreak series of trails that march west along Archers Ridge. On days with decent weather, a huge view of the Oregon Coast Range await along the trail. Adding to the excitement, a challenging dug-out section of trail with a deeply cut center rut that is eager suck unwary vehicles into its hold. Along the way, the trail passes through second growth forest and recent clearcuts offering up scenic views of the Jordan Creek drainage and great memories.

Jordan Craters Road
Sheaville, Oregon
Jordan Craters Road is the main access road to Jordan Craters, an extinct volcanic field, and the historic Birch Creek Ranch. This road is flat gravel that travels through a high plain desert landscape comprised of sagebrush, ranging cattle and ranch buildings in the distance. Jordan Craters Road begins at the intersection of ION-95 and ends at the junction of Blowout Reservoir Road and Lodge Ranch Road. There are no dispersed campsites along this road. Several jeep trails connect to this road, but it is overall an out and back connector for the primary traffic. Please be mindful of the free-ranging cattle, and remember that they have the right of way.

Powerline #4D / Tillamook State Forest
Banks, Oregon
Powerline #4D combines some interesting, tight segments of trail through the forest with a stretch of gravel access road as it follows the high tension power lines toward the coast. A fun and challenging optional section is available for those who want to attempt a reasonably difficult stretch of trail with few significant risks. There are good views near Waypoint 4 looking back to the east along the power lines.

Morcum Road
Danner, Oregon
Morcum Road is a gorgeous scenic drive descending from rolling high desert outback to a challenging grade headed to the Owyhee River with 180-degree breathtaking views of buttes, cliffs, mountains, and rock formations. As you reach the Owyhee River, you can find petroglyphs, an old homestead called Hole in the Ground, and the old Owyhee rock dam remnants. 4WD with high clearance is highly recommended for this trail due to the steepness of the grade and rocky terrain. Do not attempt the trail when it is wet. There are some flat spots by the river for dispersed camping, but be sure to abide by the signs showing Wilderness Study Areas where motorized vehicles are prohibited. You can access Morcum Road from Blowout Reservoir Road and Crater Lake Road.

Iron Mountain
Owyhee Heights, Oregon
The highlight of this trail is Iron Mountain which resembles blocks of Legos or Lincoln Logs that have fallen and have tumbled from the peak. This is an in and out one track trail that begins at Board Corral Loop. Due to grades, the road is done in 4HI, and some places are more washed out that will need more concentrated tire placement. It is advisable to avoid this trail when it is muddy and tread lightly. Two fence gates will require opening and closing if they are standing. You will likely see wild horses from time to time. There are no visible campsites on this trail.
Updated: 09/22/2025
Birch Creek
Danner, Oregon
The historic Birch Creek Ranch is a fantastic reflection of the hard work of early 1900s pioneers to make a living in very remote but gorgeous Owyhee Canyonlands. Birch Creek Road begins at Blowout Reservoir Road and ends along the Owyhee River with overhanging cliffs and high desert meadows. The ingenuity and determination of a Basque sheepherder and a west Virginia cattle rancher are still evident at the site today. Stone walls built in the Basque tradition still ascend the mesa. Remnants of a waterwheel hint at the lush alfalfa fields fed through the gravity irrigation system. Nineteen buildings and structures at the ranch contribute to the property's designation as a historical rural landscape on the Department of the Interior's National Register of Historic Places. This road is best accessible by a high clearance vehicle or, better yet, a 4-wheel drive. Don't attempt this trail when the road is wet or snow-covered.
