Rifle Road

Trail Overview

The route begins in the middle of Cave Creek and is both USFS 217C and 217D. If you head up the left side of the trail there is a nice hill that offers some good rock climbing for the more mild vehicles. Once you reach the end of the left side, it opens up to a nice little fire ring accompanied by a good view through the trees. The right-hand side of this trail is a little less technical but still allows for some really nice off-roading. This side also has a nice area to set up camp.

Difficulty

A stock Jeep would do just fine. Be mindful of the washed-out ruts as they set the car a quite an angle.
