Does anyone know if the road to Memaloose is still closed? What about the other large pit when you enter from Hillockburn road, is it accessible? Thanks.

Both Highway 224 and rd 45 @ Hillock Burn Rd are still closed sorry
no that covers both ends.Is there any other way up there?
If you just want to shoot handguns/shotguns you can go to the "Y" up squaw mountain go up 224 past Estacada before you start going back downhill turn on fallcreek rd after a few hundred yards turn left on Divers rd, a few hundred yards then there is a four way stop, turn right on tumala. Go up a few miles after the last houses and the road will fork, take the left road it is gravel stay to the left and it will take you to a gravel pit.Since the gravel pit is closed down while they clean up the mess the fire made, I was wondering if there's anywhere close to it that you can go shooting? Or in the serounding areas (Colton, mollala, etc) I don't want to have to sight In my guns and all that bs.

The area of Squaw Mtn is also in the fire closure. They have Tumala/Squaw Mtn Road road closed right past the last house the right. The link is the Closure order that has been in effect since the fire started. It will most likely not come down until the Snow fly's. I would not doubt the Forest Service leaves it up all winter.

The closure is higher up now I was just up there last week. I live about four miles from there.
Very soon, maybe tomorrow, you will be able to get up to the Helion Pit from the Hillock Burn Rd side of road 45, but not by the green bridge from 224. 224 is still closed before there and will be for a while longer die to landslides and snags falling. The Memaloose Road itself has similar problems, and won't be open from the green bridge side for some time, but unbeknownst to most, it does connect from Hillock Burn Road off of highway 211 toward Colton / Molalla.
