Thanks for showing us the beautiful scenery. Looks like a pretty dangerous trail with the fast bikers and all the switchbacks. Glad yall made it out of there with no accidents.
Thank you, very entertaining! There are two historic USGS topographic maps that show the locations of the trestles. Look up USGS Historical Topographic Maps Oregon for the TNM downloader. The two sheets that you are looking for are Gales Creek (1941) and Vernonia (1940), both are 15" (1:62,500) scale. A little hard to read, but they show the location of the trestles. There might be other historical maps out there at a better scale. I suspect that they removed them for safety reasons as timber doesn't last forever that near to the coast.
I discovered an abandoned rail line in the county where I live that would make an excellent rail trail, it crosses a very large portion of the county but of course, they never have money for such things.
Hi Pedro, That sounds interesting. You may want to check with the Rails to Trails Conservancy. They have been providing webinars and assistance in how to get a rail/trail conversation moving forward. Perhaps they can help.
The trail is family-friendly, but it's not uncommon to encounter riders speeding downhill as if they have something to prove. On one occasion, we paused to snap some photos, only to be shouted at by a passing cyclist who claimed we were disrupting his Garmin-recorded times by slowing him down.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I wonder if ours would have been a little different if it wasn’t Sunday when we rode the trail? Thanks for your support of our channel.

Our suggestion would be: avoid this trail on the weekend. I’m guessing it would be a lot less congested. Thanks for watching.
We enjoyed camphosting at Stubb and riding the trail. Oregon has some great scenic bikeways near there. Another great video.
We loved our campsite! We hope to get to the Columbia Gorge next fall. We really enjoyed Oregon. Thanks for your support of our channel.
Good video, thanks for sharing! Brian & Heather
Thanks for watching!
