The Historic Barlow Road was built in 1846 by Sam Barlow and Philip Foster to serve as the last overland segment of the Oregon Trail to make it possible cross the Cascade Range with the famous covered wagons.

At Barlow Road, you can access the Pacific Crest Trail to hike up towards Mount Hood and the famous Timberline Lodge. There is a picnic bench at the trailhead as well as some pit toilets and trash cans.
