Seasonal route: The road is subject to closure in winter. Shortly after you begin your trip along Robert Aufderheide Memorial Scenic Drive, drive through Office Bridge, a 180-foot covered bridge over the north fork of the Willamette River in Westfir. The rest of your journey follows the pewter McKenzie River through thick green-velvet forests in the shadow of skyscraping mountain peaks trimmed with snow.
