Standing Lookouts

Access:

Take Highway 20 west from Winthrop for 15 miles to the Mazama turn (Lost River Road 9140) and follow it 7.5 miles to dirt, then 13 miles to Harts Pass. The road is usually well graded and you will see all types of vehicles make the journey, but it is narrow, windy and has steep side cliffs in places. Washouts and the repairs sometimes cause the road to be rough in places. When you reach Harts Pass, follow signs for Slate Pass.

Route:

From the parking area, walk the road to the summit.
