Coyote Wall Trail Construction To Begin

The US Forest Service says it is commencing with construction of the Coyote Wall Trail, a 2.6-mile mountain bike-optimized singletrack trail in the Coyote Wall, or “Syncline,” area of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.  Scheduled for completion this summer, the trail aims to provide recreationists with a sustainable experience while showcasing the scenic beauty and unique ecology of the area.  The Forest Service says the trail, identified in a 2010 plan for the area, represents a significant step towards modernizing the area’s trail infrastructure by replacing environmentally damaging user-trails in the area with a professionally designed and constructed alternative.  The Forest Service said it collaborated closely with local community partners, specifically the Columbia Area Mountain Bike Advocates, C2 Recreation Consulting, and the Washington Trail Association to guide the design and layout phases of the trail development process.  Ptarmigan Trails, a Northwest based trail consulting and construction company, has been awarded the contract to build the trail.
