Petterson Canyon #5232

Trail Overview

Petterson Canyon #5232 is an easy ATV trail that begins at the intersection with trails #5225 and #5226 and travels east, initially crossing a large open field used for cattle grazing. Although the track is not visible through the field, you can clearly see the re-entry point into the forest across the field. The trail continues as a dry, dusty two-track winding gently through pine and aspen groves, with bits of small loose rock. The trail is pretty split-lined with cow trails through here that weave through the trees, but you can still follow the wider two-track pretty easily. The path then goes along the edge of the trees and sagebrush-covered hillsides, with a short climb leading up to a water trough. The final stretch descends on a slightly steeper grade through a tighter forest corridor, with ruts, roots, and loose rock. The trail ends at a gate marking the edge of private property, where riders may continue through to connect with Wolf Mountain Road. Please respect all private land boundaries along this route.
