Ok, I am looking for a good place to go within 2 hours of Portland oregon (not TSF) Need somewhre with lots of great views as I am going for a photography class. My rig is pretty much stock so something like and easy climb for a great view. Anybody have any ideas?

 

Mt. Hood Natl. Forest. Head North at Zig Zag on Lolo Pass Rd. and go get lost. Bald Mtn., Whatum Lake, Indian Springs, Lost Lake, Pacific Crest Trail, all stock rig friendly. Photo ops are endless, but roads will be impassible in a month or so.

take 26 west towards the coast and follow signs to browns camp

or keep on 26 and take 101 up to sand lake there are some trailes there you can get on with stock machines
also watch silly fools like me with sand rails or quads

one way ttraile is good as longe as not long wheel base

 

umm.. Brown's Camp is part of TSF.

 

Some fun options within a couple hours: Trask, Stevenson, Barlow Trail, Colton, Shotgun Creek... There are others too.
