400 Road Loop Dunn Forest

Fire road hike with 1800 feet of climb through Dunn Forest
Near:Corvallis, OR
Scenery:
Distance:8.5 miles round trip
Elevation Gain:1800 ft
Hike Time:4.5 hours
Difficulty:Moderate
Trail Condition:Fire road/pavement
HikeType:Loop


Summary: From the parking lot go let around the gate and start a 1,500 foot climb up the 400 fire road. There will be a few branch off roads, but stay on the main road up past the quarry (which is a good place to rest and or turn around and hike back). Continue on to the "summit" which is only noticed because you gradually start heading down. As you start down, keep to the right and then follow the road as it descends 1,300 feet. As you descend, you'll come to a "T" where the 400 road goes left, and at this point you want to go right (key point) and follow this road down, then up a short but steep 300 elevation gain climb. As you descend again, you'll see the road to your left and you'll come to a "T" just above the gate, turn left and you are back to the car.
Trailhead: From I-5 take Corvallis exit and follow HWY 34 to Corvallis, as you come over the bridge take the 2nd right (3rd Street/HWY 99) and follow approximately 8 miles to Adair Village and take a left on Tampico Road. Follow Tampico road approximately 2 miles and look for a turn off and small parking area to your left. This is the 400 gate and your trailhead. (Lat:44.6982 Lon:-123.2704)
