Trail Overview

Horseshoe to Harrington #5212 is a moderate 1.1-mile ATV trail that gains 600 feet of elevation as it climbs south from a starting point near a couple of dispersed campsites off Slug Creek Road. The path is wide and easy to follow, despite being unmarked at the north entrance, and travels through scenic groves of aspens and pines, with tall grassy hillsides along the way. The surface is dry and dusty, with minor features like small loose rocks, roots, and shallow ruts. The main challenge comes from the continuous steep climb, which includes embedded rock, loose dirt, tighter curves, root bands crossing the trail, and big waterbars. It ends on Harrington Peak Road #51238 on the south end, which you can take to connect back to Slug Creek Road and more ATV trails.
