Trail of Two Forests Interpretive Site

 A 1/4 mile boardwalk makes a loop through the forest that flourishes on a ancient lava flow from Mount St. Helens. 2,000 years ago when the lava run down the slopes of the mountain and hit the forest it solidified around the trees which eventually rotted leaving casts of the tree trunks. One of trees had fallen and the cast forms a short tunnel that visitors can crawl through. 

 

The trail is accessible and the interpretive signs are easy to read. 

The parking lot is large enough for any vehicle. Trail   46.09923, -122.21331

 

An Oregon annual sno-park permit is $25.00 for the season which runs from November 1 – April 30. Activities include cross country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding/tubing, snowmobiling, and mushing depending on the area. There are over 50 sno-parks and after the winter season they offer free boondocking a perk we have taken advance a few times.

 Little Nash Sno-Park was a good stop for us as we headed to Washington state. The park is a large asphalt lot with trees along the southern edge. We walked/rolled along Forest Road 2676 for about a mile (uphill) and found that the forest is too dense for boondocking although we did see one small spot that was occupied. Sno-Park  44.43211, -121.95842
