Hogs Back / Tillamook State Forest

Hog's Back is a fun trail that follows the spine of a ridge and hides a few surprises. On the top of the ridge, a rock garden has been installed for anyone wishing to test their skills. The descent into the dense forest on the north end of the trail becomes tricky as the trees close in on the road. Full size vehicles are not recommended but most SUVs and light pickups can make it through by executing three point turns as needed. A big view to the north peeks through the trees as the road hugs the edge of a cliff overlooking a quarry. Hog's Back has a little of everything and is a worthwhile trail to explore in the Tillamook State Forest.
