Trail Information

Highlights

Trail #520 within the Evans Creek ORV area is one of a dozen trails designated for 4x4 use for over 45 miles of trail riding. Evans Creek is an excellent destination for a weekend getaway. Trail #519 is one of the more exciting trails, with steep elevation climbs, nail-biting narrow turns, and snow at higher elevations, depending on the time of year. There are also many views of nearby Mt. Rainier and other alpine vistas. Trails are well marked and rated from Easy to Most Difficult. This trail is one of the park's most difficult due to its hill climbs, switchbacks, nail-biting off-camber sections, and tight and twisting turns through 4-6 foot deep root walls. You will remember this trail, whether with reverence or because of the body damage.

It's one of my favorite trails up there. In the dry, it is a level 3 going up or down. Off camber is the worst of it. In moist conditions, caution will need to be in your mind because it gets slick on the mud, roots, and off camber. The 6 rating is fitting when wet. As for the rock garden, have fun, but know this, the rocks shift under your tires. The trail here is forever changing on the upper lines. Be safe and smart on this part of the trail

Trail has been beat up. I think the trail is rated very low for the amount of off camber and step ups that are there now. Fun and beautiful but a little rough at this time.
