*Motorcycle Roads NorthWest

RoadsNW user Spencer said the following about this road:

I have been on this road more than once and it is beautiful. The corners are banked well and the road is well maintained. There is little to no auto traffic but depending on the day you may see many bikes having fun on this road too. You can actually travel all the way to Detroit Lake where you can get gas and head back. My recommendation is to get gas in Estacada before heading up the hill and into the wilderness. The first climb is steep and at the top you will want to pull to the side and take in the view as it is amazing. When you get back on your bike you will have a long downhill double lane road for a bit that is just asking to be driven. The best part about this whole trip is that I have never seen any cops and have been told they do not patrol the 224 often. Oh and last but not least the Upper Clack river is a sight to be seen, a true wild river. Have fun and maybe I will see you there!!

An anonymous poster to our website indicated that there’s a lot of tourist traffic on this road now. Perhaps like many Cascade Range highways, this is one that should be ridden on the weekdays for best results.
