Im wondering if there is any places that are open during the winter to ride in washington state?? or any well known trails somewhere? I know ORV shuts down and rock candy mountain, but is there anywhere else that has all year round riding?

Evans creek, Moses lake, and that other little dune by Vantage.
Other than that all the trails are closed down I think.
You are welcome to join us at the pig pen for sunday service. It is in fredrickson area (by Spanaway).

The trails at Tahuya are alot of fun and they are always in great shape. I have never been checked for spark arrestors just ORV sticker. It is a good idea to get a map because it is such a big place it is easy to get lost. There is a gravel pit to play around at and miles of trails. The jeep trails are alot of fun. There are several parking areas to start at. Aberdeen is not far from there.

also, where can I find a map of the trails at? and how to get there too... I kinda have an idea but they are kinda burry :rolleyes:

Alot of times they have maps of the trails at the trail heads. I found one place on the internet that has a map but it is not a very good one. Map of Tahuya (http://www.blazerworld.net/trail04.html) It also has a map on how to get there. When you get there don't stop at the first parking area, go to Elfendahl road turn right and go back in there. There are a few good parking areas back there. Mission creek is a good trail for atv's, there are also others.
Have fun

Pork chop, Canyon Road is just south of puyallups south hill.

Coolhuh, do you know where 176th crosses Canyon? That is the closest cross road I know the # of. It's not much really, just a big open field with some small hill climbs. But it is just a short juant on the RR tracks from my freinds house and track.

We have another spot where we ride right on Canyon near 74th. we call it the pig pen. The track there is tight. But the hill climbs are good. The beer is always cold too. This is where we hold "Sunday Service". :D

I know where 176th and Canyon is, can you see the riding area from the road?

No, actually you go thru 176th on Canyon and the road turns to the right. about a 3rd of a mile down the road on the right is an empty field. that feild goes all the way back to the RR tracks. I think it is like 80 acres. at the top of the proerty is a wide fast track.

J/C how old are you? with all the quads in your sig I am assuming you're past your teens. Right?

Check your PM's

Well if you want to ride up North there is all kinds of trails we know about......some good ones that we always go to are out in Darrington, also we go to trail 5000 out in Granite Falls, (about 20 min from home) also there Rieter Pit/Trails in Gold Bar. We also go to a place out in Sedro Wooley. These are not orv parks or anything like that. So as far as the spark arrestor goes IDK if ya get caught then YES you'll probably need one. If you ever want to go riding w/ us just give us an email ahead of time, in the summer we go camping to Darrington about 2-3 weekends out of the month so we are up there ALOT!!!
