OR35 Government Camp(sh)

This busy highway shoulder seems to be often on a route with a different objective. The best to ride this road that I can come up with, is to ride the whole elevation gain to the Timberline Lodge summit on Mount Hood. All of the profile below minus about a hundred yards is included on that page. The point described here is also part of a completely paved ride around Mount Hood
