This trail is unique in that it allows 4-wheel drive vehicles that are street legal in addition to ATV’s, UTV’s, side by sides, dirt bikes, and is well suited for dual sport bikes. The trail consists mainly of gravel roads and about 30 % of the system is dirt with some sections on the Jewell Valley side consisting of scenic asphalt roads. Riders will find a play area with the same grading system of Green trails, Blue Trails, and Black Trails as well as some Yellow trails for ATV’s only. This trail was designed for Jeeps/ 4-wheel drive street legal vehicles so users may find the rating of these trails easier than most of the other trails in our system.
