 There are a few designated 4x4 trails on Bethel Ridge and the best place I can direct you for information is Northwest Jeepn.com. If you go to their web page you will find several Washington trails listed. Scroll down to the Rimrock Lake Area and the first trail will be Bethel Ridge. Read through the Bethel Ridge Trail info and click on the maps at the bottom of the page. There you will find four designated trails outlined in red and they are listed in the Rimrock Lake Area section. #352 Bethel Ridge Trail rated Easy #652 Bethel Oak Trail rated More Difficult #671 Lynn Lake Trail rated Most Difficult #672 Bethel Overlook Trail rated Easy You may notice trail #680 located north of Bethel Ridge on the map, but I believe that trail was reconstructed and became an extension of FR1501. Ever since a slide closed the 1500 Road on the north side of the ridge, the 1501 has become the main route. I am assuming Trail #680 no longer exists, but I might be wrong and if you happen to find the 680 we would like to hear about it. Check out Northwest Jeepn.com Washington Trails

| Notice that our Christmas Tree Run, December 6th, is in the vicinity of Bethel Ridge. We are planning to look for trees on the south side of Rimrock Lake, but if that doesn't work out we will drive a short distance up the Bethel Ridge Road where we held our first Christmas Tree Run five years ago. Depending on road conditions, the weather and the capability of our vehicles we might try driving to the top and do some exploring.
