The crookedest road in Oregon

[pwd72s]

Stock 'o9 Bullitt...Bride & I took a little drive though the Cascade Mountains of Oregon last month. The crookedest road is actually an old wagon road, blasted through lava flows back in the days of black powder.
1st pic will show the entrance, sign reading no vehicles over 35 feet. This because anything longer cannot negotiate the turns, even if using both lanes. This road climbs from an elevation of 2,000 feet to over 5,000 feet in less than 11 miles. Swichbacks marked 10-15 mph.

Next pics are the view from a pullout at the top...

I was too busy in between to take pics...both hands on the wheel!

did you get any pictures while you were driving on the road itself?

No...too busy with the wheel. Next time I need a passenger who can use a camera. corners marked 25 are high speed sweepers on this road...many are marked 10-15 mph. It's kind of like trying to take pics while autocrossing...things happen that quickly.

Hows it compare to the tail of the dragon?

Hows it compare to the tail of the dragon?

Good question...From reading, I'd say it's even twistier and narrower than the dragon...on the other hand, the really busy bits don't last as long as on the tail of the dragon. The oregon road closes every winter...snow.

I've never driven the tail of the dragon, so I'm not qualified to make a real comparison.
