This is the view of the beginning of the McKenzie Highway which is now a scenic highway over the McKenzie Pass, the original 1860 wagon trail over the mountains and until 1935, the main road out of the town of Sisters north towards Portland. (A four land bypass Highway 20 serves that purpose now). I can't imagine this road, as it winds up to the top, could have handled any traffic as you barely had room for two cars at spots. Plus the road gets snowed in from October to June. Up higher, you can see the evidence of massive forest fires )below) from an area that must go 10 miles or so along the road.
