>>2648952>>2649077You can find solitude in a national forest by car camping (I have to be careful using that term; /out/ thinks it means sleeping in your car). The chances of someone else choosing the same spot are pretty low but never zero. Most people will instead opt for a campground.
What you’ll want is a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) of whichever forest you’re visiting. It’s a road map that shows which types of vehicles are allowed were. They’ll show which roads are dirt, gravel, or paved, as well as OHV/ATV trails. It also shows if and when the roads are seasonally closed.

If you’re hiking you have to be however far from the trail, etc etc. Fire restrictions will vary from time to time, so that’s something you have to check on. It’s usually free but some places might charge, and other might require a permit (usually free, but there are a lot of National Forests, so who knows). They also do controlled burns in a lot of forests, so call ahead to make sure. When they do them is going to vary from region to region. You can probably find your local FS on Facebook (look for US Forest Service - Washington and Jefferson National Forest) and they’ll post info regarding burns and closures.
