Fatality Alley is what police and paramedics are calling an eight mile stretch of US 26 between Blue Box pass and the Warm Springs reservation. Seven people have died there in the past seven months. This contrasts with ten deaths between 1985 and 2005. Police say the increase may be due in part to recently completed construction which has prompted higher speeds.

This section is on the east slope of the mountains. It is a remote well maintained, two lane downhill stretch in a sylvan setting that just begs drivers and riders to go fast. So be extra careful if you travel it.
