“Caution: Horse Drawn Vehicles” reads the sign in the Camas Valley, just as
another points you off the road to an “In House Bakery”. Yet another offers
“Quilts, Rugs and Leather Goods”. Whether or not you have any interest in
Amish krispy kremes or leathers without worldly zippers or snaps, this road
offers plenty of other wares to pique your curiosity. Sporting
well-distributed Twistiness, good Pavement and Engineering, and the pastoral
Remoteness that comes from being a connector between two tiny towns, this DH
goes up one creek bed and down another as it passes over the southern edge of
the Huckleberry Mountains. While the best section is undoubtedly the tightly
wound forested climb to the summit from the western side, you’re rarely far
from one of the many easy curves, even when the road spans farmland at either
end. As this ride offers a little of everything a motorcyclist desires,
perhaps the pylons should get a further warning: “Caution: Two-wheeled,
Horse-Powered Vehicles”.
