Elevation profile can still be seen where the data is accurate.
Fox5- Only a few patches of road were rocky. I veered off into some service trails for a few of the shots.
Wolfpack - Oh boy. Let's not go there.

Good pics! I did that ride a few years back from Portland. Went up to Timberline. Didn't get to see much of the mountain though, because we were in fog for most of the climb. I'd like to do it again on a clearer day.

Nice route. I've been venturing off into the gorge several weekends in a row, but time constraints have limited me to 70 miles or so, and not having a car means I have to start from inner southeast and ride 10-15 miles each way through Gresham 
I've gotta do this ride though, I'll find a way. Thanks for the idea, and great pictures.

Great pictures MIN, it looks amazing up there. I'm suddenly feeling the desire to go visit a friend in Vancouver, Wa.
