Almota Road

This is north half of one of the best road pairs in Eastern Washington.

I experienced this road in June of 2007 and I must admit that I had an absolute blast. This road has a fantastic set of corners north of the dam, and its north end leads up to Colfax where one can find reliable high-quality fuel, something that’s not always easy to find in Central Washington.

Please do keep in mind that you need to know when the dam will be open if you plan to cross. As of the Summer of 2007, this dam is only open during banking hours and only during weekdays once every couple hours.

I also highly recommend the road that is on the south side of the Snake River and the Lower Granite Dam, Kirby-Mayview/Lower Deadman Road. It’s pure unadulterated sport-riding fun.

    I drove this rode on July 8, 2009 after reading about it on this site. It was an awesome ride. I came from Portland, Oregon over Mt Hood into Hood River then 84 to La Grande past Elgin and up route 3 to Clarkston. There is a campground near the dam where I spent the night. Long ride but I will do it again soon.
