Shell Rock Road is an incredible drive through the scenic eastern Oregon countryside on BLM land. The long rolling hills and majestic buttes and mountains are not to be missed. Deer Butte, located at the southern end of the trail, is the highlight; the views of the butte and North Fork Rock Spring Canyon are amazing!
4WD and high clearance are a must, as there are some off-camber sections where the sandy tracks are very deep and worn. The northern section has some vegetation in the middle of the road, which can reach several feet in height. The plants on the trail can be thick at times, and you will need to go slow to plow through them. This can be challenging and teeth-clenching at times.
The trail goes through an open range, so beware of livestock on the road. There are many other great trails in the area. Twin Buttes Road and Cow Hollow Road are two that this trail intersects with.
