You might cringe at the clear cutting visible on the higher slopes as I do. You can see lamas grazing at Dundee and miniature horses at Grand Ronde. Stop at the fish hatchery to view salmon at close range. Murray Hill summit is 760 feet in elevation but the paved road undulates over and around gentle hills all the way to the coast like a garden snake patiently winding through tufts of grass. From road-kill evidence the area abounds in possum, deer and beaver.
Residents occasionally hear the unmistakable scream of the cougar.
You welcome a stop for refreshments at Spirit Mountain Casino, operated by the Grand Ronde Gaming Commission. Send mail to Webmaster regarding any questions or comments about this web site.
