Pioneer

Pioneer is a two-mile-long ATV trail that descends west to east from the Elkhorn Trail to 550 Whisky Park Road, descending nearly 800 feet in elevation along the way. The trail is mostly fast and flowy, with smooth dirt, shallow ruts, and only occasional loose rock. Waterbars are present for erosion control, and riders will encounter a few root bands, sticks, and tighter curves as the trail winds downhill. The route passes through a scenic mix of pine and aspen forest, transitioning into open grassy meadows with expansive views over forested hillsides. While a few steeper segments appear throughout the descent, the trail maintains an overall easy character. This trail is closed seasonally from 12/2 to 6/14.
