National Forest Development Road 1010, running along the western edge of the North Fork John Day Wilderness, is a gateway to multiple trailheads leading into the wilderness. This hidden gem in Oregon's vast Umatilla National Forest invites adventurers to explore its remote and rugged terrain.

Travelers can also access the manned Desolation Butte Fire Lookout and enjoy various outdoor activities such as hiking and birdwatching. The road offers spots for dispersed camping, providing peaceful retreats into nature. Known for its tranquility and seclusion, it is perfect for those seeking solitude. However, the road can be rough and is best suited for high-clearance vehicles. National Forest Development Road 1010 showcases the unspoiled beauty of Oregon's forests, offering a serene and adventurous escape into the wild.
