We are excited to announce that our famous driving tours are back again for 2021!

The first driving tour of the year will be an exploration of Clackamas County. Over the hills and through the woods is a perfect way to shake off hibernating for so long. From Carver we will head out to Estacada and turn south crossing the Clackamas River. Then around Elwood we will get our first taste of rolling, twisty roads. The foothills of the Cascades are richly timbered and we will see many farms along the way as well. There are agricultural farms, animal farms and even Christmas tree farms to see. Quaint churches also dot the landscape.

We will meet up with the Molalla River and follow it into the recreation area. But save camping for another day because we have hills to climb! When we do we’ll see an expansive view East. Scenic pastoral views are the backdrop for the next curvy section. At Scotts Mills we will take a 10 minute break to rest and visit in the park. Afterward we will head north, driving over Missouri Ridge, down to Molalla, and head to the Hamlet of Beaver Creek. Hamlets are unique in that a volunteer board governs the area. The fun continues in the North Highlands where some spectacular roads lead to Viola. Then it’s just minutes to Springwater Road and the View Point Restaurant.

The drive starts at 9:00 am at Carver Hanger Restaurant (off Hwy 212 east of I-205). We will have a mandatory drivers’ meeting at 9:15 AM to explain the route and safety rules. We will head out shortly thereafter.
