Skyline road turns into gravel when you hit WA county. Many of the roads down from Skyline in WA county are gravelly and otherwise unfinished. Think of it as Oregon cobblestone.

The days of cobblestone are long gone. There are patchs here and there in
NW PDX but only in short bits. Lots of gravel on Dixie Mountain Rd. Some
miles of gravel up past Snooseville. For rough roads I'd recommend the side
roads that "connect" Barbur Blvd with Multnomah. You'll want heavy tires
and strong rims. The area abounds with two-foot wide potholes 3 & 4 inches
deep.
