I was lucky to climb McKenzie Pass (from Sisters) in 2023, the week after I rode Cycle Oregon. For these events I specially came over from the Netherlands, fulfilling a long desired dream. My climb was perfect, great weather, almost no traffic. So you can just enjoy it also when the 242 is open to all traffic, just have an early start. And compared to here back home, traffic is always very low :-)

Thanks Dan- great info- I have stayed at Belknap Springs and riden part of the ride over the pass. It's beautiful!
