Parking
PLEASE CARPOOL AS PARKING IS LIMITED!
Parking is available along Oregon Skyline Road 42, south of Clackamas Lake Historic Ranger Station. Signs will indicate where you are allowed to park. DO NOT park in any campgrounds unless you are a registered guest. DO NOT park anywhere along Skyline Road 42 north of Clackamas Lake Historic Ranger Station or your vehicle will be towed.
A parking pass is not required to park on Forest Service Roads. Here is when you would need to obtain a pass:
1. Day Use Areas require Northwest Forest Annual Pass or Concessioner Pass
2. Campgrounds – Require overnight pass
3. Timothy Lake – NW Forest Pass or PGE Parks and Rec Parking Pass

If you intend to spend several days on the Forest Service Roads or visit multiple locations the day of the race, the Annual NW Forest Pass would allow you to buy one pass, put it on your dash and not worry about day use parking fees.
If you are only going to park on the road, run the race and then go home, no pass would be needed.
Directions
The ONLY way we advise reaching the event is via U.S Hwy 26 to Oregon Skyline Rd.
Do not simply rely on GPS directions as you are likely to be led down a closed or snow/tree covered road.
From Portland follow U.S. Hwy 26 East to Government Camp. Continue east on U.S. Hwy 26 another 12 miles to Oregon Skyline Road 42. Drive about 11 miles down Oregon Skyline Road 42 to reach the event.
