The OHV trails on the west side of the Tillamook State Forest have reopened after the long summer closure due to fire danger. The east side OHV trails are still closed however. It is a good idea to call the Tillamook State Forest before you visit to ensure that the trails you wish to visit haven't closed again due to the risk of wildfire. Hopefully the fall rains will start soon.

Trail is temporarily closed due to fire danger. You don't want to be out in the woods in these hot, dry conditions anyway. http://tillamookstateforest.blogspot.com/2018/07/tsf-ohv-trails-closing-on-wednesday.html
This trail was pretty fun to explore in the fog but it is not very challenging. It probably would make a decent snow-wheeling trail as long as it isn't too icy.

Douglas grew up riding in the back of pickups in Oregon and California. He comes from a long line of overlanders and adventurers dating back to the Mayflower and the Oregon Trail. During a stint working in Colorado, Douglas fell in love with the offroad scene and immediately gravitated toward the Toyota crowd. His first 4x4 was a 1988 Toyota 4runner nicknamed Goldilocks. After a year of running many of the iconic trails throughout the front range in the fully stock Goldilocks running on bald tires, it was time for an upgrade. Goldilocks went off to a new home and the Albino Rhino came home. The Albino Rhino is a built 1986 Toyota 4runner ready for any adventure anywhere at any time.
During the week, Douglas works on systems engineering and architecture problems in California. Douglas also enjoys backpacking -- especially in the central Sierras in California -- scuba diving along the Oregon and California coasts, and riding his motorcycle on the Pacific Coast Highway. Most weeknights you can find Douglas under his truck in the driveway performing maintenance or fixing the latest trail damage.
