Hello Trail Lovers,

A few exciting tidbits for you all this week!

Quinoa Timber Sale:

In preparation for the Quinoa Timber Sale (map attached), several Moto-Trails, including Dirt Surfer, will close at 7:00 am, Tuesday, 5/20/25.  The status of the affected trails can be viewed on the Hood River County Digital Trail Map here:  Trail Map  and includes:

• Moto Trail-170/Dirt Surfer (lower section)
• Moto Trail-172
• Moto Trail-173
• Moto Trail-174

The closure is expected to last a couple of weeks (or less) and can be circumnavigated via HRCF 1009 Rd. and HRCF Rd. 1000/Maple Rd. Logging is anticipated to continue through the holiday weekend.  Based on the cut boundary shown on the attached map, we do not anticipate a significant impact to Moto Trail-170/Dirt Surfer, and repairs will occur promptly once we regain access. 

For the safety of all, please do not enter the closure or approach machinery.

Thank you,

Thomas Moloney
