Description
The Larch Mountain Trail crosses Multnomah Basin Road here. The road is used by the Trails Club to access Nesika Lodge. The area around the junction miraculously escaped a scorching by the Eagle Creek Fire of 2017.
Multnomah Basin Road is also the southern boundary of the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness in this area of the Gorge. A wilderness permit box was placed here in 2021 for those continuing up on the Larch Mountain Trail.
