The original access road to the McIntyre Ridge Trail was closed in 2005, due to a maintenance backlog on the deteriorating dirt road, and ongoing OHV vandalism at the trailhead. Now the hike is accessible from the New McIntyre Trailhead, which not only provides a quick route to the beautiful ridgetop meadows, but also provides a paved access for all but the final one-third mile to the trailhead. At just over 40 miles from Portland, McIntyre Ridge provides one of the most convenient wilderness hikes in the region.
