Gifford Pinchot NF: Cowlitz Ranger District

South of Randle, the southern Cowlitz Ranger District offers some challenging backcountry singletrack, with popular trails such as Goat Mtn Tr217 and Juniper Rdg Tr261.

See the Gifford Pinchot NF Site for closures.

As always, it is best to call the local Ranger District for trail conditions and other restrictions prior to riding, as the NF website may not contain trip-specific details.
