Trail Overview

Trappers Cabin #3561A is an intermediate 0.9-mile-long dirt bike-only single track that begins on the south end by dropping off the Snowdrift ATV trail into a scenic forested hillside. The trail immediately enters a steep descent with side-hilling and a tight tree gap that requires some route finding, especially where a major reroute appears to have redirected the trail through the private property section. The route continues along a narrow bench above a ravine, with grassy sections mixed in, and evidence of regular use indicated by cut logs and visible tracks. There is more side-hilling through much of the lower section, but the grade mellows out before the trail widens out and flattens near the north end as it approaches the Trappers Cabin.

Access Description

The Webster Mountain Range within the Caribou National Forest is a popular spot for camping and ATV riding. There is a dirt parking area at the south end of Webster Ridge Trail 5110. Additionally, there are lots of great dispersed camp sites and pull-offs along Smokey Canyon Road (FSR 50110) and Diamond Creek Road (FSR 51102) near the Diamond Creek Guard Station that can be used for staging to access the many ATV trails in this part of the forest. From the town of Auburn, WY, take Stump Creek Road west to Smokey Canyon Road, following Smokey Canyon Road west into the Caribou National Forest, as it turns into FS Road 50110. From Soda Springs, Idaho, take Highway 34 north for about 12 miles to Blackfoot River Road, which you take for about 16 miles, then take Diamond Creek Road south for about 12 miles to find staging/camping near the Guard Station.
