Trail Overview

This is a scenic route suitable for any stock 4x4. There are no obstacles to tackle on this one, there are a few creek crossings that could be deeper depending on the time of year. Most of the trail is up along a ridgeline with sprawling views of the Mazatzal Mountains to the West and some roaming cattle.

Very fun trail. 80% is very easy but does have some challenges. Couple steep and rocky inclines. Atleast two points where the trail passes through the creek. Water was about a foot deep. Most parts of the trail are narrow with few parts for vehicles to get by.

it was a great trip. I chose this trail because of my 11 year old son that only has 3 months of experience on a dirtbike and he did great. a couple places were kinda worry some but he did awesome. it was a wonderful trip there and back. I set my trip milage on my dirtbike from main entrance to the river and back and clocked 29.7 miles. I would highly recommend if you have youngsters

Access Description

You can run this in either direction, but I started this on from the South and ran it clockwise to the North. I followed Doll Baby Ranch Road to the start, just West of the private property. Other than a small 1/2 mile section, it's all paved until you pass through the PP. Follow posted signs about remaining on the main road while passing through private property.
