BF Goodrich® Tires Recognizes Yacolt Burn in Washington as Part of the 2010 Outstanding Trails



Washougal, Wash. (Oct. 18, 2010) – Located just east of Vancouver, Washington, in the southwestern corner of the Yacolt Burn State Forest, Yacolt Burn was honored this past weekend by BFGoodrich® Tires as one of the 2010 Outstanding Trails. Off-road enthusiasts and members of the Piston’s Wild Motorsports club took part in the weekend event as BFGoodrich Tires presented a grant of $4,000 to the club. The grant will be used to help the Piston’s Wild Motorsports club and others design the trail system and offset some of the costs of getting the area open to off-highway users.

The Piston’s Wild Motorsports club is a not-for-profit organization that works to create a legal, safe and unique off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail system in the Yacolt Burn State Forest area for the riding public to experience and enjoy.

BFGoodrich Tires, working in conjunction with Tread Lightly!® and United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA), chose the Yacolt Burn trail system because of its scenic beauty and potential it presents to off-road enthusiasts. Piston’s Wild Motorsports is working closely with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and other motorized user groups to design this diverse and challenging trail system for all off-road enthusiasts. Construction for the trail is in full force and opening date for public access to the trails is yet to be announced (mid-summer to late 2011 is hoped). Upon completion, the Yacolt Burn off-road recreation area will offer 30-plus miles of four-wheel trails, and 40-plus miles of trails for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

“Offering spectacular views of the Cascade Mountains and remarkable scenery Yacolt Burn will bring off-road enthusiasts an experience that is worth looking forward to,â€
