Mt. Hood Scenic Byway
Barlow Pass/Pioneer Woman's Grave, OR
In 1845, Sam Barlow built the Barlow Road as an overland route around Mt. Hood as an alternative to the Columbia River rapids. Interpretive sign gives an account of the trek the pioneers encountered. The Barlow hiking trail continues along the emigrant route, descending a hill one mile to the Pioneer Woman's Grave, a memorial gravesite to all those who lost their lives enroute. The grave was discovered in 1924 by a survey crew. Along the trail wagon rut traces can be seen.
