Maintenance

THANKS TO TRAIL BUILDERS

I'm sure this is just another boring post to most, but I thought it seemed noteworthy.  I just rode Siouxon and noticed that Jerry D cut out a bunch of pretty difficult to cut logs, now that entire area (above the junction of the Upper Trail and the Lower Trail that heads over the bridge to Chinook) that was a complete pain to get around is perfect singletrack!  Thanks Jerry, you do an amazing job with that trail!  Thanks to all who help with trails but special props to Jerry for keeping one of SW Washington's gems in top form.  He's also reworked some tread in especially difficult creek crossings and landslide prone dips.  Great day to enjoy the riding we have in our backyards!!! 

Would like to help maintain Falls Creek Trail

Hello, I just rode Falls Creek for the first and second times the other day, completely fell in love!!!  I want to help maintain this trail as it's the closest trail to my house.  Please let me know if you or someone you know leads the maintenance on this trail as I would love to get involved and help keep the trail as amazing as it currently is. 

 take care

Seeking trail manager for Storey Burn trail loop

There seems to be some misunderstanding about the Sickter Lars loop at Storey Burn.   That trail was NOT designed by Westside Trail Federation.   It was originally planned in collaboration between a local advanced cross-country rider (Lars) and Oregon Department of Forestry.   When W.T.F. initially approached ODF about vision to develop a FR/DH network of trails in vacinity (across the valley on Larch Mountain)... the group was first tasked with helping finish up that technical trail loop before they'd consider any other mountain biking trails in "Mountain bike area #1".

Trail maintenance and construction tips
