This place is connected to Crater Lakes so over all love this place. Ajd even though the drive is kinda far from where I am, its very peaceful and scenic route. Definitely worth it!
There's a campground just before the tunnel, a wonderful place to stay. I Have had multiple Moose sightings in camp, and on the trails. Will definitely be heading back soon.
Its a very pleasant and nicely graded road to get there with just a short hike of about a quarter mile to entrance of tunnel without steep inclines. Very scenic area however there is not a wheelchair access beyond the parking area.
There are many other trails to enjoy there with moderate to difficult levels, as well as a 4 wheel drive road on rollins pass.
Rollins pass can be a difficult and technical drive, with narrow places it csn be cumbersome when meeting oncoming vehicles.
Do not recommend Rollins pass without high suspension and 4 wheel drive.
The tunnel is a sight and the trails are fantastic to hike. Apparently the fishing up on the high lakes is good too. I'm going to find out next trip
Love it up here - I've car camped here a few times and find it wonderfully peaceful. Even with the occasional train coming through. Trails from here are great. TH toilet always welcome. The road getting here is gravel and dirt, but relatively smooth.
