Default Gas Tank Getaway: Bald Peak and beyond

[KATU.com] Grant McOmie stays close to home but still gets out of town with a swing through the Hillsboro area that includes a great bird watching spot, a local winery and the great views from Bald Peak.

Yep - Interesting area. I have spent quite a bit of time driving these roads and still find nooks and crannies I have not been down before.

If you drop down the west side and go thru Carlton and Yamhill you can continue on west into the coast range.

One of my favorite quick drives is Bald Peak, Carlton, Nestucca River and south over the hill to Grande Ronde.

I've never been in that area, but from the video, it looks like a nice area to explore.

ToyMan it sounds like you're in my neck of the woods I often go up west from my house and it put's me up Nestucca Grande Ronde area. I am in McMinnville and we go right up Peavine road and up in that area. Drop me a line sometime we'll meet up.
