Description
Roads End Trail is an easy walk to a spectacular view of the John Day Valley to the north and Bear Valley to the west and south. The entire length of the trail is on an old roadbed. Wildflowers and occasional patches of snow can be enjoyed along this trail during July and August. If you walk up off the trail to the east you can view High Lake. This trail is the first section of the shortest route to the top of Strawberry Mountain. The end of this trail ties in with the Pine Creek Trail 201 to the west and the Onion Creek Trail 368 to the east. This 3-way intersection is "Roads End" landmark. It overlooks the Indian Creek Basin which was recently scarred by the Wildcat Fire of 1996.
