An interesting ATV ride can be had at Evans Creek in the Washington Cascades area. Evans Creek is located in Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, near the town of Wilkeson. Closed only in winter, it has 20 miles of trail. There are picnic areas and a 26 unit primitive campground with shelter.
For ATV groups into nature and scenic beauty, this is an ideal place for ATV rides featuring stately Mt Rainier. Mt Rainier National Park in northwest of Evans Creek and there are many photo opportunities on ATV drives throughout. This is a rather popular ATV/ORV riding area and is hectic unless you travel out further into the forest you may run into quite the crowd on weekends and holidays. Take time to plan some weekday outings here.
If you are an ATVer who goes into the national areas on a weekly basis, you may want to look into buying an annual park pass. Subject to being increased, it is currently $30, but will save you the mandatory $5 daily parking fee. So, for any ATVer who is out a lot, this is paid for in six day's worth of ATV outings. This area is about 1 to 2 hours from Seattle depending on which side of the city you live, and is great for ATVers in this region.
Evans Creek is a fine area for repeated ATV trips. It's close, yet far enough way to get the real feel of the forest primeval. A great place for photos with scenic backdrops, there is nothing nicer than a picture of your favorite ATV ride with a mountain as a backdrop.
