Black Mountain Road, or National Forest 1145/2220, is a scenic route within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in Oregon, near the serene Phillips Lake.

As you travel along Black Mountain Road, you'll be immersed in the region's natural beauty. The road meanders through dense forests of towering Douglas fir, western hemlock, and various pine species. Occasional clearings reveal breathtaking views of Phillips Lake and the surrounding valleys and streams. Wide enough to accommodate recreation vehicles and trailers, the road is a well-maintained gravel path.

Rich in wildlife, the area along Black Mountain Road is ideal for observing deer, elk, black bears, and various bird species. The nearby Phillips Lake enhances the experience, offering additional opportunities for fishing, boating, and camping.
