NEWS RELEASE

Release: July 30, 2020

Contact: Mike Pullen, Communications Office, 503-209-4111, mike.j.pullen@multco.us

Larch Mountain Road reopens for summer/fall recreation access                              

Multnomah County Transportation will reopen the upper section of Larch Mountain Road in the Columbia River Gorge on Thursday, July 30 by 3:30 pm after a seasonal closure and repairs.

Larch Mountain Road is the highest road in Multnomah County’s jurisdiction, reaching an altitude of 4055 feet.  Each winter, the county closes public access to recreation areas off upper Larch Mountain Road by installing a snow gate near milepost 10.  Opening the mountain road for recreational users typically happens in late spring.  Reopening the gate provides vehicle access all the way to the view parking lot at milepost 14.5 and the walking trail to Sherrard Point.  

This year’s reopening was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and by repairs Multnomah County made to drainage facilities on the road.

Multnomah County maintains more than 270 miles of roads, including Larch Mountain Road.  For more information, visit www.multco.us/roads.
