Palmer Mill+Brower RoadsGravel route from Palmer Mill Rd to NE Brower Rd, Corbett, Multnomah County, Oregon "Brower Road is rutted and potholes, but is otherwise a fairly ordinary 1-lane gravel road. Palmer Mill, on the other hand, is rutted, washboarded, potholed, and relentlessly insanely steep (~12-20% grades for the first 350 meters.) It's about as scenic as you can get; if you have any spare energy climbing the views, despite being tree-cluttered, are breathtaking. I'd suggest not looking at the scenery if you're descending, because the potholes/washboarding/ruts /will/ claim their sacrifice." 1 2 |

Cazadero TrailGravel route from Cazadero Trail to Cazadero Trail, Boring, Clackamas County, Oregon "Railroad grade, so flat. it's a dedicated trail, so the gravel is settling slowly.

Le Brun Rd NEGravel route from Butteville Rd NE to Le Brun Rd NE, Woodburn, Marion County, Oregon "Unpaved farm access road; not enough traffic to flatten the gravel out, so it's loose and drifted. The railroad crossing ~1000 meters from the east end of Le Brun has the rails standing proud of the road so they're a hell of a bump if you're not paying attention when you reach them." |
