Clarence E. Mershon, East of the Sandy: The Columbia River Highway

At Chanticleer Point, a road followed the former wire trail to Rooster Rock and the railway station.

Beyond Chanticleer, the traveler continued about one-half mile to Brower Road (now Larch Mountain Road), following it for about a mile before turning left on the road to Latourell.
