Cold Springs/Upper Dry Valley #5206

This is an easy 2.1-mile-long ATV route that gradually winds north through a pine forest and into an open valley. The path features small loose rocks, embedded rocks, shallow ruts, and uneven ground, with a grassy strip down the center of the two-track. The trail is gentle and meandering, with wide, gradual curves and the possibility of downed logs along the way. It crosses a cattle grate before entering a broad valley that was once used for mining, located near a decommissioned railway. Though it takes you north away from the main ATV trail network accessed from Slug Creek Road, it can be ridden as an out-and-back or connected into a longer loop by using the Forest Service roads through Dry Valley to connect back to Slug Creek Road.
