Yacolt Burn 4x4 Trails Work Party
Support Your Sport!
Saturday – November 10th, 2018
Time: 9:00am – 1:00pm
Meeting Location: Mt. View Trailhead (intersection of 1500 Road & 1520 Road)
Maps available at: www.dnr.wa.gov/Yacolt
Piston’s Wild Motorsports in cooperation with the Pacific Cascade Region of the Department of Natural Resources invite you to join us for the November 10th, 2018 4x4 trails work & play event in the Yacolt Burn State Forest.
We will begin the day with volunteer crews brushing trails for clearance and installing new signage and replacing damaged signage. As time and resources allow, we will also be picking up garbage on the trails and at the trailheads.
We will be focusing our volunteer efforts for this work day on Skyline, Screech Owl & Snaggle Tooth trails as well as general cleanup in the motorized section of the forest.
Generating volunteer hours for maintenance on these trails is critical to the ability to construct new trails in the future. Your trails need you!
We look forward to seeing everyone there!
Happy Trails!

Saturday – December 1st, 2018
NEW TRAIL DESCRIPTIONS:
ALL four (4) of the new 4x4 trails do not yet meet up with a complete loop (construction to be complete in 2020), so be prepared that they are currently out-and-back trails.
OLD UGLY TRAIL
ALL MOTO- Open to 4x4’s, UTV’s, ATV’s and Dirt bikes
Approximately 2 miles in length
Constructed by Piston’s Wild Motorsports
The Old Ugly Trail is approximately a two mile trail with just under 1,000 foot elevation drop from top to bottom. This “out and back” trail features two large play areas, an unimproved extreme uphill/downhill section (ride at your own risk), dozens of switchbacks, and views for days. Halfway down the trail take a left and you will find an oxbow option with a meandering collection of switchbacks through the trees offering an easier bypass around the steep “ugly” hill climb. You will find this area surrounded by two major water systems so there is always a great opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife on the trail. While natural rock is rare in this section of the forest, there is one “notch” play area in the lower section with an opportunity to test your flex. Be sure to check out the awesome play area at the top of the trail for more man made rock and log feature fun. Remember that this trail will have no outlet until 2020, so what goes down, must come back up to exit the trail – be sure to keep that in mind as gravity and false confidence lures you to the bottom of the system…
SKYLINE TRAIL
ALL MOTO - Open to 4x4’s, UTV’s, ATV’s and Dirt bikes
Approximately 3 miles in length
Constructed by Pacific Cascade Department of Natural Resources
Skyline Trail launches into an immediate climb from the main 1500 road in the forest. You will experience multiple ups and downs as you span the 700’ elevation climb through the recent clear cut to the top of the trail – 4WD and/or momentum (Braap!) will be your friend on this challenging, mostly uphill trail filled with tight switchbacks as well as some big sweeping turns. Upon reaching the brief section of flat trail at the top, be sure to take a moment to catch your breath and enjoy the view from which will likely be the highest OHV accessible elevation of the forest. Next is a quick bump up into the forested section of the trail and you start into the beginning of a total of 1700’ drop in elevation to the very bottom of the new system. We hope you will enjoy winding through this beautiful forested area with numerous switchbacks and scenic viewpoints and then finally dropping onto the 1520 road.
SCREECH OWL TRAIL
ALL MOTO - Open to 4x4’s, UTV’s, ATV’s and Dirt bikes
Approximately 1.5 miles in length
Constructed by Pacific Cascade Department of Natural Resources
This trail reveals some incredible mountain views sprinkled with challenging rocky downhill maneuvering through tight twists and turns along with some bumps and whoops to keep you on your toes.
SNAGGLE TOOTH TRAIL
ALL MOTO - Open to 4x4’s, UTV’s, ATV’s and Dirt bikes
Approximately 1.5 miles in length
Constructed by Pacific Cascade Department of Natural Resources
This trail is the last in the newly constructed system that ends at the launch point of the 2018-2020 trail construction. More tight and twisty rocky trails with some steep climbs along the way. Half way through the second section you will find a fun and challenging log crawl perfectly spaced to provide hours of frustration for each and every wheelbase equally – we don’t discriminate. A bypass is also provided for those who prefer a quick and happy drive-by.
