Trail 3 ATV (11E18)

Trail Overview

This 6.2-mile-long ATV loop winds through a dry and sparse forest, on a wide path, with sharp corners through the trees. Lining the path are widely spaced pine and oak trees, plus manzanita bushes, sometimes with low-hanging branches. Most of the loop is pretty easy, fast, and flowy, but a few spots have more embedded rock and uneven surfaces, creating moderate drop-offs or stair steps. Some spots are heavily rutted with loose rock, and others are smooth sailing. The more challenging parts have more embedded rock surfaces on steeper slopes, making it more technical for less experienced riders. There are a couple of chunky ramped rock ledges, big root bands creating ledges and drop-offs, a couple of bridges, and some pretty narrow spots with a center rut that ATVs will have to straddle. Additionally, there's always potential for downed logs, but this loop is right near the Mace Mill Staging Area, so it gets higher use, and most logs have been cut. It's overall a pretty fast trail, with flowy fun corners, nice shade, and good visibility for oncoming traffic.
