Latest Ride Reports Updated August 30, 2011 New: West Fork Smith River Road - Smith River Road to Siuslaw River Road Prairie City Loop - Hwy 26 to Hwy 26 NFR 15 - NFR 16 Hwy 395 Highway 7 - Baker City to Austin Junction Highway 203 - La Grande to Baker City Rowe Creek Road - Hwy 19 to Hwy 207 Fields Creek Road - Paulina-Logsdell Hwy to Hwy 26

Road Conditions Update Updated August 30, 2011 New - Wallowa Mountain Loop Road (NFR 39) Joseph to Halfway - From the August 12, 2011 update on the Wallowa-Whitman National forest web site: "Paving of the flood damaged sections of FSR 39 between Oxbow and Joseph are complete. Visitors may experience minor delays along FSR 39 as a result of pothole patching and slump repairs." That is great news! One of the best motorcycle roads in America is intact once again! New - Hamm Rd/Camas Swale Rd - Lorane Hwy to Creswell - The whole eastern portion, from just outside Creswell to the top of the hill is fresh, smooth pavement. Give it a few weeks for the shoulders to settle. The deep gravel on the shoulders is being strewn about the sharp corners rather badly right now. Next year at this time, this will be a tremendously nice road since the west side is already nearly perfect! Old McKenzie Pass (OR 242) - Hwy 126 to Sisters - The iconic, one of a kind, highway will reportedly open to all traffic on Friday, July 15. Because of a heavier than normal snow pack this year, the beloved highway has been closed longer than normal. The latest opening was July 29 in 1999. Because the highway was closed earlier than usual, the route will have been closed for a record 263 days. Enjoy it while you can! To contribute a road condition update, click here.
