From the trailhead, go around the gate and begin running on a gravel road. The trail transitions to dirt as you climb one hundred feet to the top of an exposed hillside. A singletrack will traverse the top of the hill providing expansive views of Corvallis and the surrounding mountains. The trail eventually finds its way back creating a short and fun loop. The Allen Throop trail is part of an extensive network within McDonald Forest, and you can find additional trails from this area in our directory.
