Boomescooter Trail

Boomescooter Trail is a short, front-loaded mountain biking climb on city-managed land within the Banks-Vernonia State Trail corridor in Oregon. The route is an out-and-back of about half a mile, with a high point of 998 feet and a total elevation gain of about 109 feet, making it a quick addition to a longer ride on the trail network. The climb starts at about 907 feet and rises to nearly 1,000 feet, with the steepest stretch at around 15% grade about a fifth of the way up. It is a short, low-elevation ride, and the trail is close to several other mountain biking options. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Vernonia show July and August highs in the upper 70s with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days. Springboard Horseshoe and Swing Donkey Trail sit about 0.2 miles away, and the Barberchair Trail is about 0.3 miles off. For paddling, the Nehalem River is about 6 miles away.
