If you will be arriving from the North, coming from Portland, Seattle, or the Gorge….
Sometimes your map offers to route you through HWY 26 (around Mt. Hood) or 197 (from the Gorge). Both of these routes take you to a dangerous and windy stretch of HWY 216 that we do NOT recommend you take! Please use the safer route below.
- Head east from Portland down I-84. Take U.S. Route 97 South at Biggs Junction – *this is your last chance for fuel!*
- After driving through Moro and Grass Valley, take a right turn onto Oregon Route 216, which will then head south. Soon, a sharp right turn in the road points you west (hello, Mt. Hood!)
- Soon after that, you’ll make a left onto Twin Lakes Rd.
- Slow down to under 10 MPH!
- Go past the Justesen ranch entrance to your right, past the former event entrance, and you will soon arrive at the SHIFT entrance. You will be able to see our signs and the Gate crew.
- Have your ID and scannable tickets ready for check-in at Gate.
If you will be arriving from the South, coming from Bend and Central Oregon…
- *Your last chance for fuel is in Shaniko!*
- Take U.S Route 97 North until 10 miles from Grass Valley.
- Turn left from 97 onto Liberty Ln. Continue for 3.3 miles.
- Note: This deviation from Google Map’s default directions is requested from the County. Let’s be good guests and follow their request!
- Turn right onto Finnegan Rd.
- Continue “straight” onto Ball Ln (the road will curve to the left)
- Soon after that, you’ll make a right onto Twin Lakes Rd.
- Slow down as to not kick up so much dust! Continue 2.8 miles.
- Go past Davis Ln. Do not turn left! Slow down to 10 mph.
- You will soon arrive at the SHIFT entrance, to your left. You will be able to see our signs and the Gate crew.
- Have your ID and scannable tickets ready for check-in at Gate.
