#7: Ketchum Road • 8.6 mi • 1497 ft

There’s a savanna on top of a ridge outside of The Dalles, and everything the light touches is your kingdom.

Ketchum rides along an improbably flat-topped ridge with the greater Mosier Creek watershed on one side and Mill Creek on the other side—which makes for some great views. It maintains a positively reasonable gradient for its length compared to some of the roads nearby. You can connect either to Mosier or Chenowith/The Dalles from the bottom or cross a gate into Mount Hood National Forest and the awful-but-short Johns Mill Road to connect to various Mount Hood National Forest roads. Or you can drop into Mill Creek on the comically-steep Hedges Grade.
