Multnomah County will reopen the upper section of Larch Mountain Road on Tuesday, May 27th at 2 pm.
Larch Mountain Road is the highest road in Multnomah County’s jurisdiction, reaching an altitude of 4,055 feet. Each winter, the county closes public access to recreation areas off upper Larch Mountain Road by closing a snow gate near milepost 10. Opening the road for recreational users occurs when snow levels decline. Reopening the gate provides vehicle access all the way to the view parking lot at milepost 14.5 and the walking trail to Sherrard Point.
The road offers spectacular cycling. For adventurous and technically skilled mountain bikers, this road also provides access to the Larch Mountain mountain biking trail.
