Driving east from Pendleton: Cabbage Hill (Deadman Pass) at the top of the grade, Meacham at the summit area, then Ladd Canyon south of La Grande. Clear at one is not clear at the next. If a picture failed to load, use the next one.

Is Cabbage Hill the same as Deadman Pass?

Same place: the I-84 grade east of Pendleton is signed Emigrant Hill, called Cabbage Hill by locals, and its summit area is Deadman Pass. TripCheck's camera there carries both names.

Cabbage Hill, Emigrant Hill, Deadman Pass — same place

The I-84 grade east of Pendleton is signed Emigrant Hill, called Cabbage Hill by everyone who drives it, and tops out at Deadman Pass. One grade, three names, one camera — and one posted rule.

Why I-84 closes here so often

Winter storms, freezing fog, ice, and chain-reaction truck crashes on the grades. ODOT can close I-84 for long stretches and hold traffic in Pendleton, La Grande, or Baker City. A clear still does not cancel any of that. The posted rule always wins.

Do I need chains on I-84?

Yes, sometimes — interstate or not. Oregon can require chains on all vehicles through the Blue Mountains, and trucks are routinely held to chain up. The full answer is in Do I need chains?
