The Bear fears no rough road.


Location

In National Forest land southwest of Unity.


Participants


Expedition

This was a fairly straightforward hashpoint if you happened to be passing through the area. A paved road southwest from the little town of Unity ended close to the border of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, and following a rough forest service road brought me to within a few hundred meters. A steep climb up a wooded slope was tough going, but led to a smooth stony ridgetop with handsome views of the border of forest and rangeland.

From here, I returned to Unity and continued to follow U.S. 26 westward towards the next hashpoint.
