General Info
The famous Maryhill Loops Tour is back again this year! Those who have been before gave rave reviews. For first timers, this will be like no other tour you will attend all year! As the “old timers” know, Maryhill Loops Road is a private stretch of road that must be reserved to use, so of course it’s not free.
We will depart for our overnight destination on Saturday, August 29th and stay at the Cousins Country Inn in The Dalles, OR, where we have a block of 50 rooms reserved, ranging in price from $79 to $139, depending on type.
On Sunday, we will be split into two different driving groups for the Maryhill Loops Road portion. One group drives the Loops road and the other takes a scenic driving tour, then the groups swap.
Sunday night there will be a group banquet so everyone can tell their stories of the day’s events. We are also looking at an optional tour to the Goldendale Observatory State Park on the way back home on Monday. All in all, a weekend packed with activities. Don’t miss this one!
Directions
The tour will start across from McDonalds Restaurant in the Auburn Outlet Mall
