Trail Information
Highlights
Stick in the Nose is an apt name for this tight trail where brush encroaches on both sides of the dirt track and tree branches hang low. Gatekeeper obstacles and a challenging rocky obstacle halfway along the trail make for a challenging but achievable adventure through third growth forest on the way up to the top of Fox Creek Ridge. On clear days, Archer's Ridge across the Jordan Creek drainage can be seen to the north. On rainy, cloudy days, driving on Stick in the Nose feels like going to another planet where it is highly unlikely any other vehicles or people will be encountered.

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.

Enjoyable trail. Ran it solo w/ passenger in my JKUR. It had rained throughout the night before and morning of prior to my arrival to the trailhead in the afternoon so conditions were somewhat wet (there was no rain while I was on the trail).
Trail is definitely wide enough for any 4x4 to wheel through but the overgrowth of brush on all sides will make you question whether it's really a 4x4 trail or not (some spots I had to drive directly through brush to get through since it must've grown that much). Guaranteed pinstriping for about 70% of the trail so beware if you care about your body paint.
Not technically challenging if you're lifted and have big tires but navigating through the narrow turns, trail and overgrown brush will keep you on your toes.
