I am planning a trip to Tollgate at the end of January. I was looking for advice on the trip since I have never been there. It's located right between my dad in Washington and me in Boise so it's a good meeting place for us. I was wondering about non ethanol fuel availability or if we need to bring our own gas for the weekend. I think we found a place to stay but suggestions would be good. Also where is some good riding areas. We like tight technical tree riding and don't really care about big hills. Any help would be great thanks.

I rode Tollgate last year late in the season. We assumed the store still sold gas, but that is not the case, unless something has changed you will need to bring some. Nice trail system and shelters. The weather was brutal while we were there so did not allow a lot of adventure. There seemed to be a lot of off trail stuff available.

Tollgate

Just to give you a heads up. There is a store to get some food but no gas. So come prepared. Elgin is 20 mniutes East of Tollgate and Weston is 20 minutes West and they both have gas, groceries, etc. Tollgate has miles of groomed trails, beautiful views, meadows, and plenty of hills. Warming sheds at both ends of the mountain and well marked maps. Enjoy

Do you have to have Oregon tags to ride Tolgate? Snow park permit?

permits and tags

the machine needs a "tag" on your machine. Iv'e driven my washington buggy there all the time. You must have an Oregon snow park permit on your rig. Ranch and home in M-Freewater sells them

If your coming from Boise area to ride Tollgate. There will be a 76 station in island city you will pass as you head to Elgin. They have non- ethanol on it's own pump.
