Paulina-Eastlake Road / Newberry Crater RoadThis road is fantastic. There’s very little to see on US97 while trying to get there, but the luscious pavement, generous truck turnoffs on the uphill slope, and the fabulous sightlines make this road a must-ride. While I didn’t go all the way up to the top personally, several of my friends did and reported that the road up to the top of the hill east of the Crater is fantastically curvy and has wonderful vistas.

This is a great road. It is a locals favorite for a quick afternoon ride to decompress. We affectionately call it “P.I.R” (Paulina International Raceway). Traffic in the summer can be a bit of a pain, but if you go later in the day it is usually pretty good. Ride and enjoy!
