Welches

Welches combines the quiet of a forested river valley with the seasonal traffic of the Mount Hood corridor, reflecting its position on the Salmon River in Oregon’s Cascade Range. The community sits beside U.S. Route 26, the main road linking Portland with Mount Hood’s recreation area, while Mount Hood National Forest lies nearby. The historic Barlow Road, a 19th-century route used by Oregon Trail emigrants, passed through this area and remains part of the region’s pioneer story. Mount Hood rises to the northeast.
