Land Owner
Beargrass Trail is a great addition to the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance - Southwest Chapters' ever-growing trail system in the Yacolt Burn State Forest. This is a 1.25-mile trail that connects the Larch Mountain TH parking lot to the summit beargrass meadow. It provides access to Cold Creek and the greater Tarbell Trail system. Riders can pedal up and take in the world-class views that stretch across Dole Valley and up to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier. Upon reaching the top of the trail riders have two options; one can either turn around and reward your climb with a flowy fun waterslide of a trail or continue on and link into Cold Creek/Sixth Sense. The builders of this trail had two things in mind; fun and progression. There are little jibs and side hits the length of the trail...go have fun.
Access Info
Park at the Larch Mountain TH (https://www.trailforks.com/poi/48/) or Upper Thrillium lot. From there cross the climbing road onto the gravel road heading north for 50ft (right side of the Kiosk) and the entrance will be on your right.
