This eight-mile segment between Shaniko and Antelope includes a remarkable set of twisty corners near Antelope. A rural route in Oregons high desert, be on the lookout for animals, gravel, etc., though vehicular traffic tends to be low. Shaniko is a ghost town and Antelope is virtually the same. The nearest gas is in Maupin, 25 miles down Bakeoven Road (another excellent ride) from Shaniko.
