Meadow - Sadie Springs #5225

Meadow - Sadie Springs #5225 is an intermediate 4.3-mile-long ATV trail in the Caribou National Forest that is also used as a snowmobile route in the winter. It begins at the intersection with trails #5226 and #5232 on the north end, starting wide and flat and straight, resembling an old road. The northern stretch features a couple of one-foot deep ruts, small loose rocks, and large waterbars. As the trail progresses through the forested terrain, it has a few gradual turns and mild grades, aside from one steep, rutted climb. Near the southern end, the route pops out into a scenic drainage flanked by open hillsides. A rocky stretch through this drainage includes a long section of large round river rock that makes for a rougher and slower ride. Riders also cross multiple 50-inch pinch points and cattle grates along the way. The southern end becomes grassy and faint before it exits onto Big Basin Ridge Road #51251, providing access to additional ATV trails in the area.
