Oregon between Westfir and McKenzie Bridge

When you get to the McKenzie Bridge area, spend some time there -- great area. Paradise Campground was aptly named:



And there is a great mtn bike trail along the river -- it goes all the way to the falls:

Thanks all.

My curiosity got the better of me.
According to Google Maps, the route out of Westfir is 51.5 miles and would take 2 hours 37 minutes (I bet longer with a trailer).
Backtracking down to hwy 222, it is 78.2 miles and 1 hour 33 minutes to McKenzie Bridge.

I tend to agree with Paul,

It's a nice (but slow) drive in a car or truck, but I am not sure if I would go that way with my travel trailer or not. I guess if I was not in a hurry, and wanted to camp along the way, I might consider it. Otherwise, I would just head west to hwy 222 in the valley and cut north that way.
The road is one lane in places and isn't very fast. But since it was built for logging trucks, there is "enough" room. It is paved most of the way. I believe there is a bit of a climb out of the N. Fk. Middle Fk Willamette River canyon. There are some nice camping spots at the upper (southern) end of Cougar Res. and also not too far out of Westfir (along the river).

Have fun,
Steve

I've driven it - in a car. It is a paved Forest Service Hwy (#19), also known as the south portion of West Cascades Scenic Byway

It's a nice drive, but it does not save much distance, and certainly not time.

If you continue west, you don't have to go all the way to I5. OR 222 stays on the east side of Eugene.
