Portland, Oregon to Detroit Lake loop Part 4: Home stretch

scenic-motorcycle-routemotorcycle riding

Looking for a day-long scenic ride out of Portland, Oregon? This one winds along whitewater, meanders through forests, follows along lakes and passes through small towns and farms. Part Four: The home stretch...

Turn north on the Cascade Highway into the town of Sublimity. The Cascade Highway will take you all the way back to Oregon City. This northerly leg of the motorcycling loop wanders through farms, wineries, and beautiful rural areas.

The town of Silverton is picturesque and worth a stop for coffee or grub. Lots of art galleries and the nearby Silver Falls State Park draw visitors to the town. Leave Silverton on OR-213, and enjoy some excellent motorcycling to Oregon City, your return to urban reality.

See Part 1 of the Detroit Lake loop series for a map of this scenic motorcycle ride.

Well, I have never seen that shot at Silver Falls! I've got to go back and do some more hiking. Beautiful shot....GORGEOUS place to shoot several falls.
