More Technical Trails? (1 Viewer)

[nova]

Hi All,

I just joined the forum recently and I promise to be nice! My wife and I have been looking in the Southern Oregon area, trying to find some 4x4 trails that are more technical than the basic (and thankfully abundant) forest service roads.

I've found McGrew and I will keep that in my pocket until I figure out how to get a permit.

I've heard of "Power Line" road, but I'm not able to find it - it seems to be a secret! Can anyone share the location of Power Line road, just PM me if it's supposed to be under wraps.

Are there any other local areas to play around in?

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

Cheers,
Mike

We live in Central Point (Medford ish).

We have some guys in that area that may be familiar with what you are talking about. Let's see if they chime in.

Thanks Toy350,

I just came across this:


Looks like I should check out Sardine Creek too.

Cheers

Most everything that is immediately local is fire road. The johns peak/kanes creek/galls creek area used to be my stomping ground. Mostly blocked now due to moto, logging and bureaucratic bs.
Sardine is primarily fire roads, and logging intrusion is up there too. That particular trail shown is fun. It runs over to pleasant creek. You wont likely find it/complete it without a guide. Its not on left fork. And its pretty shytty if its wet. That "crack" is not terribly passable wet.
Elderberry flats is another good and pretty vast area to wheel. Alot of varying trails out there.

Thanks Gnob, I appreciate the tips.

Not necessarily local, and not necessarily technical, but there is always the OBCDR. Criss-crossing all over Oregon.

That backcountry discovery site looks like fun. Thanks
