The final work party of the season is almost here. This round, we’ll be working on the 450 Trail doing some repair and enhancement projects. As usual we’ll meet down at Little John Snopark at 9am.
Please bring rakes, shovels, McLouds, wheelbarrows, etc. We’ll have Timberline there with at least one power toter, too.

We’ve been lucky to receive some great financial and material support from local businesses this summer. Thanks to all the burger eating at Sixth Street Bistro and mountain bike rental at the new Hood River Bicycles shop (behind Dog River Coffee) our bank account is fatter than it was in June Both of these guys are sharing profits from with 44 Trails Association!
And thanks to Dirt Hugger we’ve got some fresh organic matter on several sections of trail badly
in need of such dirt.
Several areas in the 44 zone –
where logging and thinning projects have reduced the canopy – the trails have lost the rich organic soils that help preserve tread integrity. So, we hope that by spreading some killer compost we can help improve trail sustainability. Thanks Dirt Hugger!
Hey everyone, the 8-Mile trail parking area (just off 44 road, across from the 450 trail) will be closed on Thursday, August 14 while the USFS works to remove some standing dead trees.
All trails remain OPEN for riding! If you find yourself in the area on Thursday, be sure to give the tree crew the space they need. Thanks!
