Trail Overview

Burchertt Spring #5236 is an intermediate 2.4-mile ATV trail through the Caribou National Forest, mostly descending from south to north, as it passes through a mix of aspen groves, pine forest, and wide open hillsides. The trail begins at the south end off Big Basin Ridge Road #51251 and intersects with South Sulphur Road #50177 after 0.5 miles, offering an easy connection to trail #5237. From there, it continues into a forested descent with tighter turns and more pronounced rain ruts. Bigger root bands create small drop-offs, and scattered embedded rocks add to the technical feel. The trail remains scenic throughout, with views across the surrounding mountain landscape.
