Pioneer Woman’s Grave Trailhead is a small trailhead on the historic Barlow Road in the Hood River Ranger District, and it’s where the Pioneer Woman’s Grave Trail begins. Several historic markers stand close by, including a sign that tells how the trailhead got its name.
Find it by turning off Highway 35 onto Forest Road 3531 at the Barlow Pass Sno-Park, about 2.6 miles north of the Highway 26 junction or about 36 miles south of Hood River. Drive 0.2 mile down Road 3531 and look for it on the west side, just past Barlow Road. Parking fits five or more small vehicles, and there are no restrooms, water or other amenities.
