Larison Rock

Larison Rock Hillclimb is the only currently running (as of 2025) hill in Oregon. Several others may continue in the future.

Larison Rock is organized by Emerald Empire Sports Car Club of Eugene, Oregon. Here is a link for EESCC. The hill has been running continuously since 1988 when it was discovered by hill founder Bonnie Mueller.

The hill is run on Forest Service Road 2102 in the Willamette National Forest. The hill is 1.9 miles long, with a rise of 800 feet. It has 23 actual turns, with 14 of them marked for the competitors runs.

Visit my YouTube channel to see a run up Larison.
