Barlow Pass Trailhead/Sno-Park is located along the Historic Barlow Road. There are several old-fashioned interpretive signs along the path. This trail also provides major access to the Pacific Crest Trail #2000 . The trailhead/sno-park is located on Oregon Highway 35 approximately 2 miles north of US 26. There is an information board and access to ungroomed backcountry ski trails, space for 15 cars, and no trailer parking.

This lot often fills up on winter weekends, causing cars to begin to park along the narrow roadway. This does not allow for two-way traffic or give proper access to emergency vehicles. Do not park along the entryway to the lot.

Our field rangers publish a weekly snow conditions report during the winter: www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mthood/snow

Nearby access to : Pioneer Woman's Grave Trail #48 5 , Pacific Crest Trail #2000 , Barlow Butte Trail #670 and Mount Hood Wilderness.

Restrictions No trailer parking.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
