Typically not clear of snow till Mid-May (north side of the Bottle Prairie butte holds snow for a while. And the trails are not clear from blowdown till mid-May as well...... 8 mile can get 100s of blowdown trees in the beetle kill area. If you are itching for a ride in the mtns... I would suggest going from the bottom of surveyors and doing an O/B for as long as you desire.... OR go to Three Corners Rock.... or go hit up your back yard good trails (Wilson, Story Burn and Gales Cr)..Has anyone been up to Surveyors ridge/oakridge/Knebel springs/8 mile lately? I was hoping to head up there this weekend but hate to drive all the way from Hillsboro without knowing about snow/blow downs and storm damage...
