Trail 181-I is a treat that is often overlooked. It's easy to just zip right by this one since it's just off the smooth section of 181-H on both ends. There is an intersection that branches off mid-way that also connects to 181-H, but as of now, there is no number on it.

181-J is, in my opinion, the best, most challenging part of Houston Valley OHV. This trail is mostly a fast and flowing descent through dense forest, dropping almost 800 feet in elevation over 3 miles. The trail drops steeply at first with shallow ruts and loose gravel, which adds some difficulty, b...
