Badger Creek

Really fun easy to intermediate route with a bit of everything: sand, rock, water crossings, jumps, berms. Great scenery. Combine with CR 45, which is also really cool, to avoid riding on 50.

I’ve traversed this trail a couple times in snow which adds a little more “adventure” to the trail. This time it was dry, a spot here and there with a snow patch but nothing to be concerned with if you stick to the highlighted trail. It’s a rugged and scenic trail with a couple obstacles, but I believe any capable stock 4wd vehicle should not have any trouble.

My first time on this trail. It was mostly dry but just around 1/2 way in, during a climb (at around 8,500ft) there were 2 patches with snow and one was particularly tricky since it was warm (around 50°), the snow was wet/slick, and the trail was cambered enough to make you slide one way or the other….one way was off the edge and the other was into the ditch/wall of the mountain. I did, at first, slide into the wall-side (was definitely avoiding going off the edge) but I was able to back up and then push through. I would wait another week or so before going back, hoping it all melts. But the other 98% of the trail was was you see in most of these photos: dry/nice.

the top the you could avoid that area by using sand road as a shortcut...bit the top part that had some ice and rutts with some fresh snow...it was slightly more difficult than a 2/3 but probably just because of the ice and snow... otherwise just rocky and narrow
