Comments
The 11 mile road from Prairie City, OR is mostly gravel and as of our trip, well groomed and easily traveled...we had a Prius as a neighbor one night.
We hiked a number of trails and they all sport unbelievable views and are not heavily traveled. The trail to Strawberry Lake opens to a wide vista of the lake and the surrounding mountains. You can pick up a trail to Little Strawberry Lake which takes you past a beautiful waterfall and up to the smaller lake, full of trout!
Weather was dry and warmish during the day but got down to around freezing a couple nights. The campground sits at 5700 ft so, like everywhere else in Oregon, bring your layers.
~5 hour drive from Portland and well worth it. We'll be back and next time we'll build in time to stop at the paleontology center.
