Having to pay $20 is a bummer but the parking is so crazy in the busy season that it seems like there are no other choices.

The other choice is to keep it as is: FREE.

That's what happens when you stop improving transit service. LA Metro is going to catch up to Trimet if we keep resting on our laurels.

Let’s be clear, Sasquatch is owned and operated by someone from Washington and ODOT is complicit not providing a free shuttle that the community has been asking for, in addition this is not legal within a national scenic corridor that is provided federal funding.

The Hillsboro area is classic California city gobbling up of all the smaller towns such as Aloha, Reedville, Orenco, Somerset West etc. I`m an an almost extinct species as a native born Oregonian having seen many changes not for the good in my 68 years living here. Too much greed in businesses too. The old time businesses are all still good but are retiring fast, only to be replaced by inferior providers of services.

@@frafraplanner9277 Transit service without security is worthless! Have used in past as get tired of dealing with traffic & expense. Need to have security on every light rail train with properly trained officers equipped with tools to enforce rules & keep druggies off & out of system.Gave up using transit because of all the dangerous experiences we saw & just lucky enough to avoid.

Land of the fee.

That`s the truth! Boat ramps in Tillamook county where once you could park at & watch people launch & retrieve boats or use the restrooms along the Nehalem river now require a FEE pass to park in even if you`re not using the ramp for boat launching!

deterrent for sure $20 is too much $3 ok $6 meh pass $20 are you kidding me ridiculous!!!

I`m more fortunate than most having been to many most of the fabulous scenic areas with my parents before all the fees & crowds destroyed the enjoyment of these special places. I will have my memories but no longer can afford to share or make new memories with younger people due to costs of travel & fees when you arrive there.

Glad I’ve been there done that. Just like ski areas, make everything accessible only to those with means.

What a shame, who thought this was a good idea? They’ve turned it into a clown shit show there. Unbelievable money grab, is this even legal? The paved paradise put up a parking lot.

They really need to require a parks pass for the entire historic highway.

I'M NOT PAYING NOTHING, I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE SINCE I WAS A KID, IT WILL BE A BAD DAY FOR ANYONE THAT TRIES TO CHARGE ME FOR HIKING UP THERE, I MEAN A BAD DAY

I'm totally fine with this if they provide the right incentives to improve parking utilization and fund shuttles. For example, one thing that will be important is that you pay less if you take a spot for less time. Taking one of those spots for the whole day for free is a terrible incentive. This change should cause more people to have spots to see it. They should also alter pricing to be more expensive on days that it will be popular.

Greed
