For those of you who have yet to meet us - please come to a meeting and get acquainted.
We are a very active club that works hard and plays hard in all forms of off-road motorsports.
We are always looking for new members and we invite you join us for a meeting or on the trails.
Our primary project of interest is the Yacolt Burn State Forest 4x4 Trail System. Pistons Wild volunteers worked on building the first three sections throughout 2014 and 2015 and these trails are now open to the public.
NEW 4X4 TRAIL OPEN NOW!
We are pleased to announce, our newest trail, Old Ugly, that was under construction in 2016 & 2017 was opened to the public last Tuesday on May 1st, 2018.
The newest 4x4 trail, Old Ugly, is approximately a 2-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, dozens of switchbacks, and views for days. While natural rock formations are rare in this section of the forest, there is one notch play area with an opportunity to test your flex. Please remember that this trail will have no outlet until late 2020, so what goes down, must come back up to exit the trail. Be sure to keep that in mind as gravity lures you to the bottom of the system.
Four (4) more 4x4 trails under construction in 2017 by DNR staff will be finalized in the next month or so and will be opening to the public as soon as completed (they are about 90% complete right now).
JCTRA has also completed two (2) new ATV trails which will open at the same time as the new 4x4 trails. We will make a public announcement when those trails are open to the public.
With the recently awarded motorized RCO grant for $590,000, you can be assured that even more trails are in the works for the 2018-2019 biennium. This grant will cover the construction of 3 complex bridges in a rugged, remote section of the forest and will provide the last grouping of connector trails that will finalize a complete loop system of 4x4 trails in the Yacolt Burn. We expect this next trail system to be completed in 2020.
The majority of the trail work parties are open to everyone to participate and get involved. Volunteers are critical to the successful completion of and opening of any new 4x4 trails in the Yacolt Burn. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing everyone in the forest this year
If you are a member of another club please know that we do encourage visitors we believe that sharing knowledge will help unite the off-road community and allow for improvement and growth of 4x4 opportunities in our area for everyone to enjoy.
Happy Trails!
