Trip Report

Timber Logjammin

Unpaved has been putting together some fantastic rough and dirty routes throughout the area (check out their Ride with GPS Ambassador page) and recently hosted an open-invite to ride some of the many gritty logging roads surrounding Timber, Oregon. I dragged my lazy winter legs out of bed and took the light rail out to Hillsboro early last Saturday to see what kind of sadistic torture they had pieced together for us. It was just what you’d expect in a February Oregon Coast range: wet, cold, steep, muddy, foggy, and tough.

Notable Notes:

  • There is parking, food, and a bike shop at the Banks Vernonia Trailhead
  • There are no services on the route
  • During the summer months there are water spigots at Stub Stewart and Reehers Camp
  • There are several bail options but they involve busy highway riding
  • Wildcat mountain involves about 1/4mi of bushwhacking at the top along an abandoned road, don't miss your turn
