Banks-Vernonia Trail “Out & Back”
Description
From the trailhead in Banks we’ll head north to the end of the trail in Vernonia. This rails-to-trails route is fully paved and has mostly gentle grades (except for one short, very steep section near milepost 12). After a lunch stop at Black Iron Grill in Vernonia we’ll back-track to the start in Banks. Note: Threat of inclement weather cancels ride - if any doubt please call Barry for an update. A Trail Brochure w/Map is available from the Oregon State Parks web site: https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPubs&parkId=104 Driving directions from Portland: take Hwy 26 (Sunset Hwy) west to the Hwy 6 junction. Bear left onto Hwy 6 towards Banks/Tillamook and in about two miles turn right (north) onto Hwy 47 towards Banks/Forest Grove. The trailhead parking lot is about one mile north on right at the intersection of NW Banks & NW Sellers Roads.
