Located 8 miles west of Joyce, this 4×4 trail is separated by Hwy 112 from the ATV-ONLY Sadie Creek trail system. It is designed for short wheel base (103” or less) off-road vehicles. After passing through a “qualifier gate”, there is a short section of service road, and then the 4×4 trail begins. It is…
The Saddle Mountains area is just North of Mattawa, WA. It is about 5700 acres of public lands, consisting of mountains covered with small amounts of underbrush and criss-crossed with service roads, mainly along the power lines and leading to communication stations. This is a good area for a relaxing ride in wide open country….
The Rimrock area is absolutely stunning. There are vistas of exceptional beauty and majesty. And as with most things of great beauty, it is also potentially deadly. I’m not kidding here. Some of Rimrock is fairly tame and fun to run around on, but a lot of it is crazy steep. I’ve been on trails…
This area contains a network of forest service roads in the Colville NF which are legal for all vehicles, and a few actual trails. The N and SW regions can be accessed by driving your ORV right out of Republic. However, the SE region, which has the best scenery, requires that you trailer your ORV…
Reiter Foothills was for many years an unmanaged, unofficial riding area with no rules and no maintenance. It was shut down for several years, but has been re-opened. Currently there are only a few miles of trails, but it is steadily growing back into an ORV area of respectable size, with more trail miles added…
These areas are part of the LT Murray Wildlife Area. This area provides a desert landscape that is as beautiful as it is harsh, in its own way. You can ride all day here in a large loop with a little bit of backtracking and see canyons, rock formations, rolling hills, windmills up close and…
This area provides a mountain forest landscape, with areas of dense trees and barren ridges. Some of the green dots roads are smooth, some sections are quite rocky. There are a few scenic viewpoints which can be breathtaking in the right conditions. You can ride on any road that has a white marker with a…
This area is fantastic for a full day of smooth cruising around taking in the sights and smells of the forest. Much of it is shaded, so even in the hot summer it’s a great place to visit. A passenger car could drive most of the roads, so don’t expect a challenging ride, that’s not…
In the mid-1800s, a road was made from Walla Walla to Fort Steilacoom through Naches Pass. But it was too difficult for early settlers. It has stayed available for motorized recreation, but has fairly restrictive seasons due to the elevation, and the effects of motorized vehicles on trails (especially when the snow melts). Lower Naches…
Moses Lake Sand Dunes is not a particularly large sand dune area, nor does it have particularly tall dunes. The largest dunes are about 40 feet high, maybe, and there are only a few of these. The area is mainly a handful of open dune areas sprinkled over an area that is covered with crisscrossing…
