Old McKenzie Hwy riding

I rode it on June 24th last year, which is supposed to be before it
officially opens to vehicles. I found that some cars drive down from the top
quite a ways, and that when I came back down, the lower gate had been
opened. It was closed when I went up. No idea why. I probably met about a
dozen cars. Its a memorable ride though. Also, cold on the top.

McKenzie Ranger Dist. would be the best source of info on that 541-822-3381
I have also been told that a crew with Hutch's in Eugene rides it every year.
Could be a very late opening this year with all the snow.

All,
I have hoped to ride the Old McKenzie Hwy before it opens to traffic
these last few years and have always missed my opportunity. Does anyone
have any sources on information on how to find out when the road is
clear of snow and when opening dates are planned?

Thanks
Seth May

All,
I have hoped to ride the Old McKenzie Hwy before it opens to traffic
these last few years and have always missed my opportunity. Does anyone
have any sources on information on how to find out when the road is
clear of snow and when opening dates are planned?
