Our final stops on the Heritage Trail were kind of the worst.
I'm not saying that they aren't important, or that I am not glad that we saw them; we would not feel right if we skipped them. However, for some of these stops I write reviews about how cool they are, and how worth the trip they were. These are different.
For The Arts Cabins on Mt. Hood, there was no one there, no Heritage Trail sign, and signs preventing parking.
Generally they are used for artists, but there are supposed to be frequent blacksmithing demonstrations and I had seen something about an artists' market in the winter. The Facebook page has an external link, but it is broken.
It looks like they are trying to revitalize things under the Cascadia Center for Arts & Crafts, but they may need some time.
The Summit Meadows Pioneer Cemetery has the sign, is clearly visible, and you can see the graves.
Perry Vickers Road is a little rough, though. No, it does not give that as the address -- they don't do addresses out here -- but that is what you are on.
At one point there was this big thump and I worried that we were going to have a broken axle. We were fine, but turning around on this narrow road and going over that spot again did not seem like a good idea.
We kept going forward and entered a campground. I assume it was the Trillium Lake campground. It was not immediately clear that we were on a one-way road.
We did return home safely, but if you want to go see it, it might be better riding in something a little higher, or maybe waiting until you can go by snowmobile.
Still, we saw every site. There will be more about that later.
COVID: We neither went inside anywhere nor saw any people. I'd say we were pretty safe.
Accessibility: Well, I guess if you stay in the vehicle. Otherwise, it's not great.
