Trail Overview

Rock Island Road (GH-87) is a narrow, rocky trail that is frequented by Off-Highway Vehicles such as dirt bikes and SxS in Breckenridge, Colorado.

There are no visible campsites and no available toilets on the trail.

I went up American Fork and down this Rock Island Trail. I was on 890 Adventure. Most of the trail is easy but towards the bottom the decent is steep and rocky and challenging on a big adv bike.

Long steep uphill road that 2 stroke 125 lacked low end power for. This trail is not for beginners and is a challenge for my 14 year on a dirt bike. We stopped half way and went back down and found the nearby loop much more fun.
