Trail Overview
BLM Route 80 is the main north/south route in the trail system off Bean Ranch Road in Whitewater. The trail is generally an easy winding road that rates 2/10, however, there are a few sections with some rock features that require high clearance that rate 4/10, hence the 3/10 rating. From the trailhead, head west on Routes 81,82, or 89 to access 80. From Route 80, you have access to a wide variety of additional trails including roads, 50-inch, and single track. String together additional routes for an adventure as long or short as you'd like. The Tunnel Point on the southernmost end of the route features spectacular near 360-degree views. The route has little coverage, so it can be hot in the summer but is also quick to dry out in the winter.
