Trail Information

Highlights

Trail #519 is in the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest within the Evans Creek ORV park area. It is one of a dozen trails in this park designated for 4x4 use, forming over 45 miles of trail riding. Trails are well marked and rated from Easy to Most Difficult. Trail #519 climbs to the highest point in the park and is a must-ride on sunny days for stunning vistas of Mount Rainier and the surrounding peaks and valleys. Combining those views with hill climbs, off-camber sections, and an unforgiving stump obstacle makes this a trail to remember.

After 15 years running 4x4 trails, I have to stress, this is not an "EASY" trail. I rate this a low to mid range "MODERATE" (5) my book due to the stump turn on the bypass. The first climb up is loose baseball sized rocks. No problem for an experienced 4x4er. But at the bypass,519A, thing got tricky. On the bypass there is a hairpin tun around a stump root ball. No way to avoid it and is on an off camber pivot. It was ok but I took damage to the body coming off the stump. A longwheelbase better be ready to scout and maybe even pull a line as the pivot around the stump on your drive side and off a rock on the passenger side can snag ya up.

Dry and fine. The turnoff to 519-A sneaks up on you. Look at the pictures carefully to recognize the bypass on the right. Hit 22-degree tilt on this one which had me leaning plenty.

Ran this trail today and only caught a small about of snow at the very top in the shady areas......you will have no problems completing this one. I'm attaching a map of "Evans Creek" that you might find helpful in getting around and keeping oriented.
