The previous comments refer to an older version of this trail ("Rd. 664") that has since (thankfully) been removed from Trailforks. The Trunkline trail is approached by parking at the "History of Wallula" parking lot and riding (and pushing) your bike up the canyon to the prominent gap. The trail starts at a ladder over a fence line. The land the trail is on is owned by Whitman College. Please be respectful of the property so that we can can continue to use the trail.

I have heard this before that the man in question BELIEVES it is his private property but that local law enforcement has repeatedly been involved and informed him it is not.

The lower part of this "trail" as it is currently (5/4/22) depicted, is the driveway of a very cranky older man who will threaten you if you ride onto his property. It is NOT a public road or trail and is NOT open for riding. I have submitted a revision of this "trail" that only includes the part that is on land owned by Whitman College. It can be approached by starting at the "History of Wallula" parking area.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
