The last bit of road to Breitenbush Lake is pretty rough, not for most
vehicles. I'd suggest at least extending as far as Ollallie Lake as a
start/end point. It's only another four or five miles and a good section
of trail at that, with nice lakes, and dense with huckleberries if you time
it right. (Dense with mosquitoes if you time it wrong.)

If not Ollallie then the next road crossing to the North would be FS
Road 42 at Clackamas Lake, followed by Timothy Lake, a couple of lessor
FS road crossings, and then to Hwy 26.
