Oregon Route 37 is an Oregon state highway that runs between the town of Cold Springs along the Columbia River in north-central Oregon, to the city of Pendleton. The highway is comprised of the Pendleton-Cold Springs Highway No. 36 (see Oregon highways and routes), and part of the Pendleton-John Day Highway No. 28.

[edit] Route description

Oregon Route 37 begins (at its southern terminus) at an interchange with Interstate 84 and U.S. Route 395 just south of downtown Pendleton. Heading north from that interchange, the highway skirts the western edge of downtown, briefly shares an alignment with U.S. Route 30 over the Pendleton Highway No. 67, and then heads north out of Pendleton. At an intersection with Oregon Route 334, the highway turns west-northwest for the remainder of its length, terminating at an intersection with U.S. Route 730 near the community of Cold Springs. Just west of the junction lies Hat Rock State Park.

[edit] Major intersections

Note: OR 37 uses several different highways (see Oregon highways and routes); the milepoint column shows mileage along these highways, not adjusted for equations, with the highway number in front.

The entire route is in Umatilla County.
