Im tired of being told, 'dirt bikes only'
Any good trail riding, or hills in the Cascades?
I know there are,,,please help me find them.

 

where have you gone then?
trailriding areas i know are open to quads right now: tahuya, reiter, walker valley, evans creek,(i'm sure there's others). during summer months: capitol forest. national forests are somewhat picky, naches has some trails for quads but not many, same goes for manashtash, taneaum, teanaway and others.
i don't know of any around mt st helens.. but i may be wrong.

 

Ive been to Capitol Forest, Reiter, Taneum area (most atv trails were still snow covered), Naches, Beverly Dunes.

Id like to be able to find some places to explore for some weekend trips with the camper and quads.

Are you familiar with the discovery trail in Oregon, which runs from Cali to Wash?

Thanks for the reply

 

Well, try Tahuya ORV park. It's across the sound just outside of Belfair (Bremerton). The trails there are great for quads. Then there is Jones Creek outside of Vancouver, and Tillamook State Forest in Oregon (which has campsites available). There's three places to try out. Tahuya is your best bet since it's the closest to you.

 

Bing--

I ran the Discovery Trail two summers ago....It was pretty cool. Definately need a chase vehicle and there are really only a couple months you can run the whole stretch (elevation gets to 8000' in some spots). There are several spots you need to get on the road, some I just ran on the quad, but others are too long to do that. You could probably start at the north end of the trail and go south, but that would be a long drive back. Most start at the south (near Lakeview, OR) and go north.

 

my brother wants to dual-sport the discovery trail. if he decides to, i may just go.... backpack, desert tank on the street legal XR & go for it!

 

hey thanks for the info!

That XR sounds like the way to go. I plan to tackle that sucker in the spring.

I think we will try out Tahuya this weekend.

thanks again

 

yeah walker valley is a great spot for riding, there are like three different parking lots, only been to the one near lake cavanaugh and it was a blast, lots of trails, lots of mud and lots of fun....walker valle is a huge area.....there is also spada lake near granite falls, they also call the area lake 500 road i believe, ok area, lots of logging roads, some trials here and there, also sultan basin, which is on the other side of spada lake....havent been to reiter yet, needing directions and a weekend to go...might go this weekend if possible any one game?
I am also in need to go to the dunes!!! if anyone goes, let me know i will meet you there....never been to the dunes, only had my quad since august. i have a honda 400 ex
hope that helps bing....

 

Bing- if you haven't been to tahuya, good directions are on the NMA website.

Bighonda- i'm thinking about heading out to Reiter Saturday, i need to do some tuning on the LT before the race at Richland on 11/3.

 

It's not the cascades, but I am heading North to Gold Bar this weekend. Evan's Creek is ...how should I put it....interesting. Dangerous is more like it. If you want to put your skills to the test Evans is the place
