This entire region is covered with old mining and logging roads that can be enjoyed on your off-road vehicle. The terrain ranges from wide open well-maintained service roads to old, forgotten roads that now look more like trails, way up in the mountains. None of it is particularly difficult, but all of it is beautiful…
This area provides a mixture of lush evergreen forest and harsh desert landscape. The contrast is as beautiful as it is extreme. You can ride all day here in a large loop with a little bit of backtracking and see canyons, rock formations, rolling hills, dense forests, and get your feet wet in the river….
This area provides a mixture of easy and technical trails through lush evergreen forest. There are three official 4WD trails. There is not much parking at the trailheads, certainly not enough for a toy hauler or large trailer. However, there is a large area with a lot of primitive camping available. You can bring a…
This riding area is mostly service roads, but a great many of them. Some side roads that are a little less tame, and some criss-crossing play areas under the power lines. There are a number of 50” trails that are marked, strictly enforced, and closed from December – April. UTVs are prohibited on them at…
Beverly Sand Dunes covers about 300 acres, so it’s not really a big area. It’s a little over 3 miles long and about a half mile wide at the widest point. You can get from one end to the other in just a few minutes, and it’s not really likely that anyone will get lost….
Ahtanum State Forest has something for everyone: Smooth roads, bumpy roads, twisty rocky trails, off-camber challenging trails, amazing scenery, great camping and picnic spots, and many opportunities for adventure! Most of the roads are somewhat rocky, but you can find some good stretches of smooth road to get some speed and feel the wind in…
7 Mile Orv Park covers about 600 acres. The area consists of rolling hills made up of sandy dirt, covered with trees and some underbrush.. There are some places to get up some speed. There are some short but steep hill climbs. There are some sweet jumps. There are some whoops. There are some trails…
Some advice I have seen people giving for removing the steering wheel is to loosen the nut a few turns but leave it on there, and whack it with a hammer. This works. BUT, it has a problem; if you have EPS, and most UTVs do these days, it can slam the steering linkage down…
Important Update: The Darrington Power Lines area is CLOSED. The Department of Natural Resources has announced that they are closing off access to the Darrington Power Lines area. Signs have been posted. A DNR crew who was onsite there spoke with some users and told them anyone caught on the property will face criminal trespass…
Today I visited Tahuya State Forest with Ethan, Graig, and Thomas. It’s been a while since I was out there last. On the way, I met a fellow NW UTV Trail Riders member at a Park n Ride and sold him a set of springs to replace the sagging stock ones on his RZR. Thanks…
