LYNN WYKOPF 8Laif Writer, Tbe Ortfonlan AHJbouRh It Is the north portion 0 the Skyline road, extending the Irhole distance from Crater Inke Id Mount Hood along the summit tf the Cascades, the Detrolt-Brelt-mbiuh -Olallie -Clackamas -Government Camp sector has an hnpor kanoe all its own, because It makes ; np part of an easy one-day loop, uotor trip. Hie motorist may drive south v-rer the Skyline from its juncture rith the Waplnltta cutoff, then Collow the Santiam highway from Detroit to Bend, and return via the Waplnltia, for a circuit which not only may bo encompassed in single day without difficulty, but which will unfold before the eyes of the traveler some of the stale's most majestic mountain and lake cenery, From the upper Willamette valley an alternate loop Is from Salem through Mill City and Gates to Detroit, up the Skyline to Mount Hood, and return by way of Port Jand. For a short distance west . f Detroit, however, this road will be found unpleasantly narrow and rough. From eastern and centrri Oregon the loop may be mado through Sisters to Detroit and back via the Wapinitia. Throe-Ih.y Trip Tho Detroit-tO'Government Camp part of the Skyline road was fol lowed by The Oregon I an -Oregon Btate Motor association travel car on the concluding dny of a three day trek to Crater lake by wny of Bend and Hie Dulles-California highway, and return via the mile high Skyline route. Pannengers were Earl Snetl, Oregon secretary of state; A. C Burke, sheriff of Marion county, and the writer. First day of the motorlog took the white travel car to Crater lake, while the second day found It roll ing north post Diamond, Crescent, Odell and Elk lakes, as well as almost Innumerable smaller ones, to swing away from the Skyline route temporarily for a night at Clear lake, a few miles down the South Santiam highway. Detroit, 55 miles east of Albany, Is the point where the Skyline route, 1 which has been merged with the North Santiam highway from Sis-j ters, again starts out on Its own. Road signs here Indicated Brelten bush lake 25 miles and Olallie lake 31 miles, to the north and east Up the Breltenbush river, a de lightful little stream, now dashing Its way along a narrow canyon, now pausing as if to catch Its breath n deep green pools, wound the road. Although the south portion of the Skyltne had been found tn excellent condition, along here It was even better a smooth graveled surface, and although narrow, with suffici ent room for passing other cars which was well, for traffic In and out of Breltenbush Springs was somewhat heavier than that en countered elsewhere on the 260- mile Skyline routo. Lofty Ridge Climbed Leaving Breltenbush, the road steadily climbed, until It began to follow a lofty ridge. On every side were rhododendrons In full, riotous bloom, while the scenic vlnta which unfolded whenever mountain mea dows provided openings through the timber was probably the most spectacular of the entire journey up Oregon's "backbone." To the south towered Mount Jefferson, Its jagged peak seemingly framed by Breltenbush mountain on one side and geometrical Pyra mid butte on the other; north, ex tended a rouky range hardly less nltltudlnous. In places here the road won actually blasted from solid rock as It wound along the ridge. Shortly before arriving at Brelt enbush lake, the motorlog car had passed Into the Mount Hood na tional forest, one of five national forests Crater, Umpqua Deschutes, Santiam and Hood trt versed by the Skyl.'ne road. After crossing a high pKs, until : recently closed by snow, Uw road ! began to descend, with matcnless1 forest and mountain scenery un folding all the while, to pass Horse shoe and Monon lakes, and then to rkirt the shore of Olallie lake, popular plcnio and ramp spot. Heavy timber surrounds this lake, whllo well-developed trails lead to points of Interest Including several smaller lakes- In all directions through Uie forest. Every conven ience for the camper or picnicker is provided by the forest service camp, while a commercial resort offers store and cabin facilities. North of the lake Is 7210-foot Olallie butte; to the west are Double Peaks and Twin Peaks, with a dozen or so' small lakes scattered through the vnlley between. A few minutes1 drive brings the motorist to Olallie meadows, where another forest camp is situated amid the colorful m dun tain wild flowers which carpet the ground everywhere at this season of the year.

Past the north forest gate, wheri two Oregon State college student! passing their summer as forest guards kept watchful eye on per sons entering and leaving the Olal lie area, the travel car turned inU the Waplnltia highway, seven milei south of its junction with the Mount Hood loop road and ten miles from Government Camp. A fitting climax to the magnlfl cent vistas of the 260-mlle Skylint road was rmvided by the majestic outline of Mount Hood, silhouetted against the evening sky, with sprinkling of sNrs and a younj moon casting shimmering reflec tions across Its sweeping snowfltttdsj From Government Camp the mo-i torlog car rolled through Zigzag, Sandy, and Gresham to Portion dj completing the loop, which had, taken It almost from the north tq the south borders of Oregon, along some of the highest road to the state.
