Lake Olallie with Mount Jefferson in background
Sky Line Road / Road#4220 offers some
spectacular views. Olallie Lake with Mount
Jefferson towering in the background is
about as good as it gets... then a bald eagle
soars across the horizon.
Road#4220 Mountain Lake
Road#4220 Mountain Lake Camp
There are several mountain lakes and streams,
lava flows and rock slides, meadows, and even
marshes that were probably created by beavers.
Limited cars on Skyline Road / Road#4220
as it winds and twist through the Cascade Mountains
in Mount Hood National Forest. There are some
rough parts not maintained for passenger vehicles.
Horseshoe Lake?
Horseshoe Lake? Burn Area
Roadside campsites around Olallie Lake
and Olallie Scenic Area. Continue towards
Horseshoe Lake and there are good camp
areas everywhere.
Beware of mosquitoes and possible fleas.
Burned vehicle at Olallie Lake - July 2006
Burned vehicles are common sights in
the last couple years. In 2005 we saw
several burned vehicles on Road#63.
Presume they were stolen and stripped
of parts, then burned any evidence....
Another burned car on Road#4670
