How will frost affectdeep should I sink a gatepost for a 7' wide gate in my fence gate?

I am a first time fence builder, which will be 6ft cedar. I need a gate that is 7 to 8 ft wide. I live in Oregon and the frost line is only a foot deep. I was planning on a 7ft gate with a 6x6 post. Would that hold the gate? How deep should I sink it?

I also thought of 2 4ft gates on 4x4 posts but have the same questions.

The gate won't be opened a lot, just provide access to a barely used trailer and a dog run. I am concerned with the weight and that it saggingmight sag.
