Trail Overview
Ellis Jeep Trail starts out with some challenging climbs and descents through the forest until reaching a ridge. This is a relatively new trail that has been rerouted for mud, so make sure to stay on the designated route. It is a popular area for ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes with options to camp with campers and hauling trailers. The trail is open mid June through November, depending on weather.

Moderate. Mostly easy with intermittent loose rocky climbs and downhill sections. Narrow section, not recommended for oversize vehicles. After Waypoint 03, a sign said 'Most Difficult' but we encountered easy to moderate conditions.
